Winter Breeze Formal (Friday, 31st January).

By Isabella Dale

University of the Cumberlands students attended the Winter Breeze Formal on 31 January, 2014 to help promote and raise money for Baptist Campus Ministries Missions trips across the country. The event was a semi formal dance at the Merry Jeffries Centre in Williamsburg where around 50 Cumberlands students participated.

The dance, which was held from 7-11 p.m, was sponsored by Baptist Campus Ministries and organised by senior students at UC. The organisers hoped to raise money and awareness towards Missions and their services to the community.

“It was a good night,” said Jay Sankakulchai, an international student and guitarist in the Marching Band at Cumberlands who attended with three friends. “Everyone had a good time and really enjoyed themselves.”

According to Ezra Anderson, an organiser, the money collected from a fee of $5 per person will be used for Mission’s member Leanne May to travel the country promoting the gospel. May is a senior at Cumberlands and also a member of the BCM. 

“There was a mixture of students, a lot were international and there were also many sports teams that turned up,” said Anderson. “I believe it was a great way to give back to the community.”
