San Antonio Project ** — 2002:
San Antonio Metropolitan Ministries (SAMM)
Description of activity:
Photographs from San
Antonio Event
In true Texas form, kilt and cowboy boots were the attire for at least
one Wooster Scot who participated in the service day in San Antonio. A
total of 17 area alumni and friends attended to aid the San Antonio Metropolitan
Ministries homeless shelter as our part of the national effort. We were
fortunate to have Rev. Bill Lytle '44, a former Presbyterian pastor whose
church had been involved in the early years of the SAMM ministry, provide
us with a brief history of the project where we would be working. We were
quickly put to work organizing donated goods and/or interacting with the
shelter's children in their reading room. The warehouse and donation area
never looked so good, and the SAMM children had the benefit of a professional
reading teacher (Martha Ramos). We enjoyed a box lunch together, where
it was announced that the graduates of the 1970's won the prize for having
the greatest representation. Hating to see this Wooster gathering end,
some of us enjoyed a wonderful Mexican food dinner together that evening.
There are now a few more San Antonians who know about The College of Wooster
and its wonderful alumni.
