Eclipsing the 10,000 Sanwiches Made Mark

It is important to recognize and congratulate our group on eclipsing the 10,000 sandwiches made mark over the past two and a half years. As a result of the hard work and determination of the Le Moyne College sandwich makers, we have proudly been able to make 10,095 Sandwiches between the fall of 2009 and the present date. All of these sandwiches have been enjoyed by the guests at the Samaritan Center over the past years. It is truly amazing to see how an idea thought of by our very own Andrew Lunetta, has been able to transform the lives of those we serve and those who are taking part in the serving. LMC Sandwich makers has feed hundreds of mouths and has allowed many students to take part in the Jesuit Mission of Serving our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. It is evident that we have made a difference thus far and will continue to do so in the future. On behalf of our group I would like to extend our appreciation of all of the hours of service at the table together making the sandwiches, as well as the diligence of Anil and Andrew who have worked together to coordinate this great service project over the past years. It is my hope and the hope of our group that LMC Sandwich makers is only scratching the surface and that someday after generations of service, the sandwich making which began in the confines of Nelligan Hall will have been continued here in Syracuse and hopefully will have spread as an initiative to new avenues. Ghandi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Through this ministry of providing a meal, LMC Sandwich makers has helped to be a change in the local Syracuse community in order to provide a bag lunch service to the needy on a regular basis. Therefore, let us continue the good work together and know that through helping hands we all can make an impact in our communities by giving of our talents and time. God bless you and may you have a wonderful spring break to come back to the mustard, mayo, bread, lettuce, cheese, ham, turkey, and PBJ which we call LMC Sandwich makers!
