ETA Kappa Member Volunteers Globally

Eta Kappa member Kathleen "Laurie" Walton took her volunteer efforts to a new level when she volunteered for the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in Bantry, Co. Cork, Ireland.

While vacationing with her family, she received a call from the local ISPCC chapter who said they were in need of additional volunteers. Walton gladly stepped in; smiling and  greeting customers outside of a local supermarket with a bucket for people to drop a quick donation for the ISPCC.

"I spent a great three hours outside the supermarket rattling my bucket and pinning 'thank you' stickers on the shoppers who donated," Walton said. "People were very generous and by the end of the shift my arm was aching [from holding] a full bucket of coins and folding money."
