Thanks for a Great Year of Service


Today marks the end to what was a great year of LMC Sandwich makers. We made over 2,400 sandwiches this semester and approximately 5,000 for the School Year. Tonight we were fortunate enough to attend the annual Samaritan Center Awards and Charity Fundraiser dinner at the Double Tree Hotel. This event is an outstanding way to raise funds and awareness about the great service that the Samaritan Center does for members of the Syracuse Community. Certainly, it was a most enjoyable occasion and a great way to finish out a job well done. On behalf of the LMC crew I wanted to extend my thank you to all of those who helped us make this year such a success!

In addition, it is important to recognize our own who did so well and achieved greatness this year. Anil Da Costa, the current organizer and president of the group, was recently honored at the Dolphin Choice Awards for the service program of the year. Le Moyne students voted and selected LMC Sandwich Makers as the best service program! Also, Andrew Lunetta the founder of our group was also recognized for his service in the greater Syracuse area!

Well, we all hope that you enjoy your summer and that you are ready to "rock n roll" to make more sandwiches and do more service under our new Student Organization entitled Ignatian Ignite in the fall. Peace and God bless you for your commitment to service.
