Mr. Major worked with CILSA at Saint Mary’s College of California to provide a meaningful day at the college for 50+ female Vacaville students. The students received a tour of the college, engaged in service by preparing sandwiches for the homeless in Berkeley, ate lunch in the college dining hall, and watched a women’s soccer game. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Major; CILSA looks forward to working with him in the future.” March 7, 2010
