Lafayette-Bloomington Wabash Day 2009
"Wabash folks stood outside the stores and handed out fliers that listed items in need," Trebley explains. "The customers would simply pick up a few extra items while grocery shopping and drop off those items as they left. We found that this was a great way to ‘spread the fame of her honored name’ and do some good at the same time. We were able to collect 1367 lbs of goods! Go Little Giants!"
Joining Joe and Mary in Lafayette were: Jason Stair ’99; Jonathon Bradley ’96, his wife, Stacey, and their children Sydney and Avery Sydney; Michael Pugh ’00, Matt McFarland, (an Ohio Northern grad and friend of Joe Trebley's, now a friend of Wabash College); and Lou Fenoglio.
