30 by 30: Three Month Update

On Saturday, I spent the morning volunteering at the Greater Boston Food Bank with the UMass Amherst Greater Boston Alumni Group.  If you know me at all, you know that I'm very proud of my UMass roots and am very involved with the Steering Committee for the Greater Boston Alumni Group.  In fact, I've organized this volunteer event for the past two years!  We had a lot of fun and it was great to give back during this holiday weekend.

I completed about four hours of community service, and I've got twenty-six more hours to go for my 30 by 30 List!  I also thought this would be a great time to give my three month update on what I've checked off on the list thus far!
