Transportation will then be provided to each of the four service projects.  Students can expect to gain three volunteer hours, which of course is applicable to to the 25 hours required to qualify for the Community Service Honor Roll.  The benefits of these service projects will be well worth the effort.  Students must pre-register to participate in Make a Difference Day by Thursday, October 20.
