Not one, but two intense days of blood donations marked what has become the biggest blood drive held at Binghamton University each year. The drive is held in memory of the victims of 9/11 and was co-sponsored this year with PhiDe Fraternity. A total of 128 donations were collected, and sent to the hospitals saving up to 326 patients (because of how we use the blood and the double-red cells). This beat BU’s record of 123 in 2009.

What a fun and wonderful (not to mention delicious) tradition this has become! Apple picking with a great group of friends when NY State's apples are at their best, plus the chance to bake delicious apple pie, apple honey cake and apple kugel in the Chabad kitchen. Yummy!

What can be more fun than mixing, kneading and shaping the very best bread in the world?- Challah! And the best part: participants not only made their Challah from scratch, but also got to enjoy their own Challah on Friday night, or take it home and eat it immediately! Everyone at the workshop had a great time.

Not for the fainted hearted but definately for the intrepid and fun loving. A group of BU Chabad students took the fields for paint balling. Tired limbs and no regrets is what was reported from the battle field.
