Morris Area Chamber of Commerce

Fall Day of Service
2023-09-04 14:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | University of Minnesota Morris, 600 E 4th St, Morris, MN, 56267
Each year, the Office of Community Engagement hosts a Day of Service in September. The goal of the event is to introduce students to volunteer opportunities and agencies in the community and to provide needed services for those agencies. The day includes pre-service training, a hands-on service opportunity, reflection, and snacks.
Past projects have included painting the floor of the Morris Theatre, cleaning trash and weeding the pocket garden in downtown Morris, river clean up along the Pomme De Terre river, and playing bingo at Grandview nursing home.
People interested in volunteering would meet at Oyate Hall on campus at 12:30p for preparation for various sites we serve; at 2p people would take provided transportation to their site; and we would finish up returning to Federated Church for a shared meal at 5pm.

Two pictures side by side. The one on the left is a woman in a red shirt sitting at a piano. The photo on the right is a man in a black suit, looking down at the cello he is holding
Minnesota Orchestra Principal Cellist Tony Ross and ProMusica Minnesota Artistic Director and Pianist Bethel Balge present an evening of duets by Lucas Foss, Felix Mendelssohn, and Dmitri Shostakovich. With its rich timbre the cello evokes the human voice in its capacity to convey motion. The piano carries a similar dramatic heft. Foss’s refreshing Capriccio, Mendelssohn’s gorgeous D Major Cello Sonata, and Shostakovich’s iconic Cello Sonata afford both instruments room to explore their range and reach for the Heart.
