Aldrich, of Dallas, is an active volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and the North Branch Land Trust. She is also an associ- ate professor of physics and the physics department chairperson at Misericordia University. Aldrich received the Pauly and Sidney Friedman Faculty Award for Service from Misericordia University at commencement exercises this past spring. > ® HOMES Continued from Page 1 cause I know a lot of people at Mi- sericordia do service...It’s nice to be recognized for what you've done,” Aldrich said. Aldrich joined the North Branch Land Trust as a member of a land committee in 1993 after attending a hike the organization was holding. The North Branch Land Trust was started in 1993 by a group of people from the Back Mountain who wanted to edu- cate others on the importance of land conservation while provid- ing owners the opportunity to continue to own, yet preserve their land. In +1997, Aldrich “became a member of the board of directors for the North Branch Land Trust. She currently serves as president of the board. Aldrich, who has lived in the Back Mountain since she joined the Misericordia staff in 1988, ac- knowledges the area is changing as once rural land is being devel- oped. “What makes me feel peaceful is to be able to drive by beautiful lands...and I think there’s a part in every one of us that feels more at peace if we do that,” Aldrich said. “I think the people who have lived here for a while have seen that change. We'd like to keep what's left here.” Aldrich started volunteering for the Wyoming Valley Chapter of Habitat for Humanity in 1997. She has worked to help build about one house a year locally and recently joined a building committee. Aldrich also allows her stu- dents to do service learning for Habitat during class time. The students volunteer on home building sites and then must re- port on the physics of what they did. A member of the International Habitat for” Humanity, Aldrich has made trips to Taos, N.M. to build adobe homes and to Nepal to construct mud and brick homes. She has also been on two Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Projects through Habitat for Humanity to Detroit and Ben- ton Harbor, Mich. in 2005 and the Gulf Coast (Mississippi, Louisia- na, Texas) in 2008. In addition, Aldrich served as a chaperone for two Misericordia spring break service trips. One trip was to the Gulf Coast in 2006 to do cleanup after Hurricane Ka- trina and the second trip was back to Louisiana in March 2009 to build homes through Habitat for Humanity. “I think they were amazed at how much still needed to be done because you hear about the disas- ter for a few months and then something else happens,” Al- drich said of the students. In her free time, Aldrich enjoys BACK MOUNTAIN LITTLE LEAGUE RESULTS SENIOR LEAGUE Back Mountain 16 Harveys Lake 4 Back Mountain Senior Lit- tle League finished the regular season with a 9-3 recprd.
