LET’S GET THIS SEMESTER STARTED OFF RIGHT!
PBL definitely started the fall semester off well after gaining a total of twelve new pledges! The semester is already getting busy for the new pledges as they start to plan their pledge event for this upcoming December! As a chapter, we have already had numerous social and service events. We began our first service event with a PBL street clean-up and are currently collecting various paper products for the community in need. For social events, we have shared a couple of meals at a variety of restaurants, played some mini golf at Macon, Missouri, and felt the exhilarating breeze at Kirksville’s famous Train Bridge.
Fundraising at Bellacino’s Pizza & GrindersThe chapter will be hosting its first fundraising event of the semester on October 1st at Bellacino’s. We’re super excited to eat some delicious pizza while also helping the chapter raise money! Make sure to mention PBL when you order from 5 PM to 8 PM to ensure the fundraising efforts are dedicated to PBL!
