1 Community Service By: Kristen Arnold

2 What is Service Learning? Service Learning is a way of teaching by doing extra activities in the community and combining those activities with formal instruction.

3 I personally benefited from the Doug Henderson Memorial Golf Tournament because I was helping out others for a good cause. I also think it was beneficial because it helps out with skills such as communication.

7 Doug Henderson Memorial.. For my Community Service hours, I volunteered at the Valdosta Country Club Golf Course for the Doug Henderson Memorial. The organization was founded in memory of a young man who lost with cancer. Through support with family, friends and the community, Doug’s legacy will be a great contribution of spirit and gifts to his hometown.
