Echad, the Hebrew word for unity, is now in its third year as a social club. Echad has the distinc- -tion of being the only club on campus that is a co-- ed club. Its members continued to strive toward their goals of serving others and of growing spiritually. The club held devotionals every other Sunday night , and members took turns helping widows in the community with yardwork or housework. The club hosted its second annual Workathon in an effort to help mission-minded students raise money for their summer campaigns. The club also believed in having a good time, as was shown by its hayride, Christmas party, spring banquet, and several birthday parties for its members throughout the year. Also, the men of the club participated in men's club bowling. These activities promoted club unity and helped the members develop close friendships . Though Echad was a small club, that proved to be a strong point for them. Objectives for spreading the love of God were clear, and a special bond between club members existed that many clubs can only hope for. Cheryl Brigham, president of Echad, said, "I have greatly enjoyed being a member and serving as president of Echad. I can hardly describe all the ways I have grown and all of the good experiences I have had as a result of being in Echad. Working with widows in the community and working with fellow students has been a pleasure and a blessing. I have formed friendships that I hope will last forever." 60Echad Single Clubs Echad.

RENEE ROBINSON ... "Echad is a club who accepts people for who they are. They are also a great group ofpeople who have fun and have the same number one goal in life: to serve the Lord, through service projects orjust plain caring about people."
