Houston Founders Day Service Project

Each October, alumni chapters throughout Texas honor Founders Day by serving their communities. Join the Houston Alumni Chapter for a service project with Hermann Park Conservatory at the McGovern Centennial Gardens. Lauren Hill '15, interim Houston Chapter President, planned and coordinated the project.

The chapter will be doing a beautification project:

• Weeding and mulching plant beds
• Restoring picnic tables and benches
• Planting and watering trees
• Removing invasive plants
• Cleaning and repairing trails
