Elm Street DREAM Monthly Snapshot October 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights Several Salmon Run mentors volunteered at the Ben & Jerry’s Factory in Waterbury, VT during peak weekends. Not only did they receive pints for their service, but also funds for their program! DREAM partnered with the UVM Outing Club for the Catamount Classic to honor the memory of Avi Kurganoff and Mary Wilk. Both Avi and Mary were avid members of both DREAM and the Outing Club. A group of mentors and mentees hiked at Niquette Bay with Avi and Mary’s parents as a celebration of their lives. Participants Mentees

Weekly Programming with Children
The group went apple picking at Adams Orchard and had a blast! Whitcomb’s Land of Pumpkins and Corn Maze generously donated pumpkins and tickets to the Elm Street program. Mentors and mentees had a lot of fun figuring out the corn maze! Mentors and mentees did a coin drop fundraiser on campus and raised over $600! The group broke up into small groups to do Halloween activities. These activities included pumpkin carving, baking, and donut-on-a-string contest.
