A CAN do performance by Germanna engineering students

Germanna's MeCANical Engineering team won the Engineering Ingenuity award this week during a contest sponsored by Stafford County Schools and 99.3 The Vibe. Ten teams collected thousands of cans of food for the Fredericksburg Food Bank, then built structures at Spotsylvania Towne Center. The Germanna Engineering students' American flag design was titled "Silver Linings." Now all the cans go to feed area families in need.

It starts with one can... To feed the hungry. To lift the spirit. To change the world.



This week you can help Germanna Community College's Engineering Department  and feed the hungry in our area at the same time.
Please bring cans of food to either the Fredericksburg Area Campus in Spotsylvania County or the Locust Grove Campus. Collections boxes are located by the elevator in the Science & Engineering Building and Information Commons at FAC and in the LGC student lounge.
 Germanna's engineering students have entered a contest sponsored by Stafford County Schools and 99.3 The Vibe. in which they will use the cans we collect to build a structure.  Once completed and judged, all the cans go to the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank.
The contest is this weekend at the Spotsylvania Towne Centre.
So clean out your cupboards  Go buy a few cans  Or give Davyda Hammond, Lisa Murphy or Denise Guest cash and they will go buy cans
The engineering students needs 2,000 cans. Please help.
