REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & CommunitiesWhat was the most interesting thing you learned from analyzing your utility bill? What are some ways you can save energy and water?
Colleen Sullivan 4/28/2023 6:21 AMI have learned since my kids do not live at home; I use much less energy.

REFLECTION QUESTIONEconomy & CommunitiesWhat was one nonprofit organization that was exciting to learn about?
Colleen Sullivan 4/19/2023 6:52 AMI feel talking to Associated Charities in Adrian, Michigan was very interesting to learn about how they raise money for back-to-school clothing drive and Christmas for the kids presents the parent s shop for along with a food basket. But most interesting was how they rebuilt the building after a fire they had this year on how they raised funds but were still able to help kids for back to school with gift card donations that were handed out a specified place due to them not having a building. They could not believe how kind people were with donations for both. I have donated clothing g there for years for all adults and kids. I am really interested in the Blue Jean ball they have to raise money for their organization. -
