What's the deadline?

Hours need to be in by the last meeting of the semester.

________________________________________________________

Do service events from other clubs count?

ALD/PES only accepts hours for service based on work you have done with ALD/PES, and are therefore unable to accept service from any other organization.

________________________________________________________

My hours aren't correct!

Please be patient with hours being updated, there is generally at least a week turn around between when events occur and when hours are updated.

________________________________________________________

My name isn't even on the list!

If your name is not on the list there are several possible reasons:

1. you have not participated in any event this semester,

2. you did not indicate whether you are an old or new member.

3. we cannot read your hand writing.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the secretaries.

________________________________________________________

Why should I stay active?

We work on the reward system where if you are an active member you're allowed to attend the end of the semester banquet for free. Also, having an active status helps in officer and scholarship selection.
