The Value of an Hour...

Did you know that you can actually put a dollar "value" on the service you do? The Independent Sector, a leading non-profit coalition or more than 600 foundations and service agencies, determines the dollar value of service each year. In 2007, the value of an hour of service was $19.51. Can you even begin to imagine the thousands of hours that our collegians and alumnae donated to their communities? The value of that service is probably well into the millions! How much did you account for?

Our Theta Tau chapter at Lebanon Valley University completed 224.5 hours of service last year for a total value of $4,380! You can read more about their accomplishments here.

Congratulations to Theta Tau and all of our sisters who are making a difference in their community!
