President Gene Wing's Big Day

 

On May 10, 2005, President Gene Wing (2004-2005) kept his promise to kiss a pig if the club would raise $2,500 for Heifer International.  The donation funded 11 pigs (in honor of our President), 5 sheep, 5 goats and a hive of honey bees.   With the help of Carol Ann Howard, World Community Service Chair and some assistance from the ASU College of Agriculture and a somewhat cooperative piglet, the funds were raised and Gene kept his word!  Below is the photographic proof.
