Joe Smith, 07, gets ready to bowl during a COW event.
COW volunteers bowl with senior citizens
Mar 22, 2013
A group of alumni and students competed in a Wii bowling tournament
with senior citizens, one of many Community Outreach Week events
planned by the Alumni Association and the Community Service Learning Center.
The tournament was held March 21 at Covenant Village of the
Great Lakes, a retirement community on Lake Michigan Drive.
It was the third straight year the mother and daughter team of
Wilma and Julie Vanderzwaag have attended the event. They said they
enjoy interacting with the senior citizens.
“This is a great outreach week,” said Wilma Vanderzwaag, who
graduated from Grand Valley in 1969. “A lot more people will know
about Grand Valley through the volunteers.”
More than 600 volunteers planned to participate in COW; events
were held locally, in the Detroit area, and as far away as Thailand.
Events conclude on Saturday, March 23. Visit
