AU Saxons Clean Up
Six members of the Alfred University Football
Team scored big last Saturday, April 18th, and
they ‘cleaned up’ in this off-season spring
event.
Dave and Cathy Williams contacted AU Football
Coach Dave Murray again this year seeking
assistance with their spring clean up efforts
courtesy of AU Football Team Members. For the
2nd consecutive year Coach Murray sent six team
members to their home on Waterwells Road in
Alfred Station around 9:30 am.
Team member helped the Williams’ by raking
stones and yard debris from the property. When
they finished (in only 1 hour) they came to the
Williams’ to ask if there were any other
projects they could help with and went on to
assist Cathy with some rose planting and Dave
with the removal and storage of the storm
windows. They even helped set up the family
glider and park bench in the front yard.
“I cannot say enough to praise these fine young
men,” said Dave adding, “Their cheerfulness and
eagerness to help us is truly a blessing and we
were honored to have their assistance.” Dave is
still recovering from injuries sustained to his
knees and hips in January of 2007. His wife
Cathy commented, “This was such a great blessing
to both of us. In two hours these men finished
what would have taken Dave & me a full weekend
to complete.”
Dave & Cathy went on to say, “Sometimes you hear
about that smaller segment of college students
who have made mistakes in our community which
can have a negative impact on the community’s
perception of the student population in general.
Yet the countless hours of volunteer work these
students give back to this community over the
few short years they live with us seems to go
unnoticed. It is very important to us that we
give credit where credit is due and praise these
fine young men publicly.”
The Williams’ served the men a well deserved
(and much appreciated) lunch of grilled hot dogs
and assorted snacks when they were finished.
Cathy noted, “It’s like having the boys and
their friends home again (the Williams’ two sons
who have grown & left the nest). This is
wonderful.” The Williams’ wish nothing but the
very best for these fine young men in the future
and will not soon forget their generosity and
cheerfulness.
