The Honolulu Alumane Club chose to spend their Fraternity Day of service promoting literacy and sustainability to the children at a local Head Start center. The event began with a reading of Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax," which initiated a lively discussion about the importance of sustainability and taking care of our environment.

Just as the Onceler had given the young boy in the story a truffula seed to take care of, each student was given a small, False Heather plant. With assistance from members of the alumnae club, each child planted their own plant in a small pot to take home and were instructed to provide the plant with some water, air, and TLC (Unfortunately TLC in their minds kept translating to "tender loving cake").

Before leaving, each of them also received Seuss-themed pencils and notebooks and "The Lorax" book was donated to the classroom. This was a memorable event for both the children and alumnae members participating.
