On Thursday's adventure, we woke up early for another day of volunteering at Earthworks. Most of us were excited for the night's Alumni dinner. The temperature had risen a bit and a few of us decided to work outside pruning some trees and bushes. The rest decided to help at the Greenhouse planting seeds. As usual, we had lunch at the Soup Kitchen and met some really nice folks. We left early to get ready for the Alumni event we were attending that night in Troy, Michigan. Joseph Bione, one of Gannon's distinguish alumni, welcomed us at his office. He is the founder of WhiteHall Group, which offers services to companies in transition or in trouble. Mr.Bione shared with us his Gannon experience, career path, and how his company has helped development in Detroit. He also empathized his commitment to grow Gannon's Alumni Association in Detroit. After that, we joined with other alumni (roughly ten) for dinner at the "Alibi" Italian restaurant and had the opportunity to talk to them and ask them questions about their current careers and how Gannon prepared them for such. We had a lovely and informative evening where we got to share our Gannon pride.
What a wonderful day with wonderful people!
