Power point
Sarahann, Taryn, and I made some progress on our power point today for our EACAP project. Our power point is about pollution. We focused on littering, water, air, and soil pollution, and some other topics as well. Although we are not completely done with the power point it is coming along smoothly and nicely.

Good Evening! My name is Katie and my team members include Kaitlyn, Mackenzie and Madison. We are all upper class at Penn State Berks, majoring in marketing/management and political science/prelaw. For our EACAP project we have decided to work with Steve Harrity of the Reading Inc. Our task is to be hands on mentally and physically to benefit the Reading area. We will assist in cleaning up and beautifying specific areas. Our teams’ first task is to evaluate the importance of volunteer work and how beneficial volunteering is to our community as a whole. Through the process of our project, we will explore the area and provide a positive impact on the environment around us.
