FAA 199 students preserve, clean-up, and provide support

This past Outreach Weekend, over twenty FAA 199 worked at several work sites over the weekend. Students worked in the City of Centerville with their city planner to transfer police reports into electronic format. This information will be used by the planner to create GIS maps that will allow the City of Centerville to visually see the locations of crime, and the types of calls their police department receive.















Other students helped Catholic Urban Programs preserve historic gravestones at one of the oldest cemeteries in East St. Louis.















Eight students worked at 41st Street Pullman Porter Park to shovel 20 tons of gravel into a walkway in the park. And a few students helped Christina Fisher, Director of Village Theatre, to organize supply closets in the theatre and their tool shed.















Due to the chilly weather on Saturday, most of the students worked indoors with the Katherine Dunham Museum to catalog their library, decorate the museum for the holidays, and clean and sort historic materials at two of Katherine Dunham's homes.

As usual, all the hard work was capped off by a stop at Pirtle's, for the world's best ice cream, before we headed home
