Happy Birthday To Our Chapter Members Born in the Month of August
VSUAA Chesterfield County members were at it again! On Saturday, August 9th, they took advantage of another volunteer opportunity during VSU's freshmen move-in. The chapter adopted Seward Residence Hall. One hundred treat bags were prepared, and volunteers were eager and ready to greet students and their families as they moved into Seward and other surrounding dorms. We had a blast welcoming families inside and outside the residence halls! The excitement was in the air!
