Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Ashley Lau - Service

    Hi everyone! My name is Ashley Lau, and I am from Bellevue, Washington. I am a nursing major and a business minor, and I am also one of the co-service chairs! It’s been an incredible second semester, and I have enjoyed serving with my sisters and planning events with my co-chair, Katie Aguirre. This club has provided me with so many opportunities to get involved with Gonzaga and the Spokane community. I have met so many amazing people through service and have been able to serve different communities in a way that I have not before. Through service, I have been able to grow, educate myself, and have eye-opening conversations with individuals in the Spokane community.
    So far, we have been able to do weekly service along with a monthly service event. For my weekly service, I have been serving at Blessings Under the Bridge with my two sisters, Libby and Clare. Every Tuesday, Libby, Clare, and I do meal prep for ~100+ individuals. These hot meals are then handed out every Wednesday under the bridge. This past week, we made Mcdonald Mcribs, packaged cookies, and scooped applesauce. We have made so many memories and have learned so much about the Spokane community and the organization itself. I have had so much fun serving with my sisters and building bonds through service. I never want it to end!! It has been really amazing to be surrounded by individuals who have a passion for people, a passion for serving others. Especially during my freshman year, I felt lost in my purpose and what I wanted to do with my free time. Setons brought me a life-long group of friends who value their community and value people. Setons has opened so many doors for me, and I could not be more grateful… All Together Through Service <3333
