Show NEWS JUNE 3, 2013 66 AMPUTEES from Al he didn't turn us down because of that experience he told us about his step dad, who is an amputee," Latham said. Since the club got involved in prosthetics in 2010, Club President Sadie Blasucci, has had the benefit of going on the trip for the previous two years. "We got to see some of our old patients and they come back and said, 'This is what worked, this is what didn't - this is my life now after you gave me this prosthetic.'" One of these patients included Jose' Luis, an amputee from birth defects, who was able to gain a higher paying job and independence as a result of new prosthetic. "He came back and said 'I used to spend a lot of time at home because I couldn't do much. I was really reliant on my mom' — because before he was on a crutch - He came back and said 'I used to work at McDonalds. I work at the bank now," said Blasucci. "We gave him a prosthetic and he came back in slacks and a shirt and tie" Blasucci continued, "It's really interesting how the club goes for two weeks, but there really are long lasting impacts on all of us students, as well as the patients. " Students with a variety of majors were able to participate in the service project, from photography to business management; something that both the club advisor, Julie Bagley and Blasucci are both very in favor of. "From a student's perspective, it's the little pieces that build up to the project that you can really apply to your life- pieces of the project are all individually adapted to each student. Blasucci also found her classes, We gave him a prosthetic and he came back in slacks and a shirt and tie. SADIE BLASUCCI Club President PP Spanish, International relations Case Studies, and Political Ideologies applied to her experience in Guatemala. "Because you prep for the whole year, I have two semesters building up to my trip, to think about how Guatemala fits in. I speak Spanish, that experience alone in has totally helped me in my Spanish classes," Blasucci said. Through working with We Love the Cause, Blasucci has found her future career path working on films to build awareness about human trafficking in the United States. She is currently preparing for a trip to New York City next week to meet with related organizations. "I got involved in this service thing thinking, 'I'm going to go abroad, I just want to see some place new' and that was the main reason. [Through this service project] I got to practice some Spanish, apply it to some of my classes, and branch off my major into a career path, It's interesting how doing this type of service has effected how I hope to make a living," Blasucci said. FRONTRUNNER from Al Mike Cluck, a UVU student, said. "It seems like there's always a group of people waiting to get on." Cluck has ridden the FrontRunner many times, and finds it "More convenient and efficient" than its bus and TRAX counterparts. As the FrontRunner prices range from $2.35-$9.50, depending on where you are going or where you are, part of the advantage is that students can pay attention to the bus pass price and not the actual ticket cost of the FrontRunner. "I don't even know how much it cost." Cluck said with a smile. Cluck explains that even though he loves the FrontRunner, it isn't something he would invest a bus pass in. "I don't need one." Cluck said. "I'm within four blocks of my job and school." Though, there is one thing that Cluck does not agree with. UTA has a rule where if you have a TRAX ticket you can bring it onto the bus no problem. The same goes for the bus onto the TRAX. The FrontRunner also works on both the TRAX and the bus, but according to rideuta.com , both the CIRCLES from Al Miller said. Currently, the only Circles program offered in Utah is located within Community Action Services and Food Bank in Provo. The Provo Circles program has been active for three years, although it is still relatively new. "As our program expands we highly encourage students to volunteer.

"For the last five years I have been participating in this event and I absolutely love it. I get to share with others my passion for cars, and also, is a good time to get information and to know what's new and what's trending in the automobiles market. I am hoping to keep coming every single year," said Rob Warren, Creative Director of Holy T-shirts, who was a vendor at the event. A big number of vendors like auto service companies, local dealerships, and a big variety of food merchants, were participating at the Expo, offering their products and services to the public.

Another main attraction of the event was the University's Department of Automotive Technology. Scholarship opportunities awarded their creativity, innovation and ideas. Randy Cumming, from Alpine, Utah, owner of a 1950 Cadillac said "This Cadillac is my passion, and it makes me happy to see how others enjoy to see my car, events like this one, are necessary for our community. Putting together a great car display for observers and also helping the UVU Automotive Technology Department makes of this event a total success." 66 [The FrontRunner] is a tri-level train that runs up to speeds of 70 mph, compared to TRAX which only runs up to 60 mph.

Cluck's first word to this is "Asinine," which means foolish, unintelligent or silly. "It creates unrealistic expectations, unless you knew that. I would've assumed that it would work on any of the TRAX, bus or FrontRunner if it already worked on two out of the three." Cluck said. 00 resumes and discover the joys of real nonprofit work.
