Red flag? Grab your shovel!

by Bill Huesken ’14

It’s a snowy day and a bright red Christian Action Team (C.A.T.) banner is hanging from a window of Loyola Hall. It’s not there for decoration. It’s a call to action for members of the Snowmen for Others.

Snowmen for Others is service initiative in which students meet after school to assist those in our neighborhood who are unable to shovel or salt their driveways, sidewalks, and steps.

Members meet at the Arrupe House on “red flag” days, grab shovels and a map, and head out to assist elderly and disabled residents.

After heading out, the Snowmen gather back for hot chocolate and have, on occasion, been known to engage in snowball fights on Kyle Field.

To get involved with Snowmen for Others or any other of the C.A.T. initiatives, attend the weekly C.A.T. meeting every Thursday at 3pm in Room 227.
