    Eighteen students, including members of the Wildcat men’s soccer team, women’s basketball team and Theta Phi Alpha sorority, volunteered their time and wrote heartfelt and cheerful messages on Valentine’s Day cards for residents of the nearby Manor Care nursing facility, totaling more than 750 cards. After Saturday's event, Shannon L. Skaluba, student organization and information center specialist, delivered the cards to Manor Care to be distributed on Valentine’s Day. (community) Service Saturday events provide opportunities for Penn College students to volunteer within the Greater Williamsport area. Held the second Saturday of the month, each event is a different volunteer opportunity. Contact the Office of Student Engagement to be added to the (community) Service Saturday interest list!
