On April 7, 2014 the Reading Beautification Inc. team attended the press conference at the Riverfront site. At the conference Steven talked about the project that Reading Inc. is going to be working on. He also explained the things we have done for the organization so far. During the conference he also allowed the teams to introduce ourselves.  Additionally, we took some pictures with the Reading City Mayor Vaughn Spencer, President of RBI Kelley Coates, and other members of the organization. They seen very happy with the things that we have done so far and the activities that our groups will be doing in the future for the city. In addition to that, the news will be announced to the public in the Reading Eagle the newspaper.

Yaya Barry is from Guinea and currently lives in Philadelphia since he came to the United States in 2004. He is a junior at Penn State Berks and majoring in Accounting. Kevin is a senior and his major is Information Science and Technology. He is from Puerto Rico. Tammy is another senior member in our team. She is from Viet Nam and her major is Accounting. Kevin and Tammy both live in Reading. It is our honor to work with Reading Beautification, Inc., one of the local environmental organization. In this project, we will do some community services such as cleaning along the bank of river and parks, planting some trees and painting. Besides that, we also do a research about how volunteerism affects the community. That project has assigned by the organization to our team. At the end of this term project, we hope that we can pass the words to everyone and raise our awareness about environmental protection.
