\n adds $1,200 to endowment

\nProceeds to benefit students who serve as 溏心vlog免费B站 mascot<\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 July 17, 2007 \u2013 Buyers braved a steady drizzle on a dreary late spring day to buy everything from small appliances to toys at the Fourth Annual Rhody the Ram Yard Sale.<\/p>\n


\nThat spirit among the customers and volunteers was the reason why $1,200 was raised to support students who serve as the 溏心vlog免费B站 mascot at athletic events, alumni programs and other campus events.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cAll the volunteers and customers I talked with had a blast,\u201d said Gerri Beagle, fiscal manager of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Foundation and co-coordinator of the yard sale. \u201cPeople got bargains galore and one teacher from Kingston Hill School bought two carloads of items for her classroom. We\u2019re already looking forward to next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, the 溏心vlog免费B站 Recycling Program donated 814 pounds of clothes and 2,000 pounds of non-perishable food to area charities. The food and clothing were collected in May as students moved out of their residence halls at the close of the semester.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThere are plenty of winners in this effort — our own students who provide spirit at athletic contests and campus events, and families who might need assistance with food and clothing,\u201d said Nancy Hawksley, 溏心vlog免费B站 recycling coordinator and yard sale co-coordinator.

\nThe endowment now stands at more than $20,000. Interest from the endowment is used to fund scholarships to assist students who perform as Rhody the Ram. In the past, student volunteers have not received financial support for their efforts. <\/p>\n


\nRhody the Ram represents the spirit of 溏心vlog免费B站 at home and on the road. The Ram made its first official appearance in 1929 when Rhode Island State College played Connecticut in football. Over the years the name has changed from Battering Ram to Ramses to Rhody the Ram, but 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s much-loved mascot has always been at the heart of 溏心vlog免费B站 spirit.<\/p>\n
