With ATCE being the largest conference for SPE members, it is a great opportunity for many of us to give back to the community that graciously hosts us for the week. Active involvement in local community service encourages positive press for the oil and gas industry and sets the stage for SPE members to develop meaningful networks, which is especially critical given the current industry climate. Therefore, SPE continues its SPE Cares initiative, aimed at promoting, supporting and participating in community services at the Section and Student Chapter’s level.
SPE Cares made its mark last year when its “Give a Ghaf” tree planting program attracted 70 of our members representing 16 countries and successfully planted 200 Ghaf trees to preserve UAE’s endangered plant species.
This year, SPE Cares will conduct a park clean up at the Hemisfair Park Conservancy steps away from the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. The Conservancy aims for interested volunteers to participate in various cleaning and gardening activities to restore the park. SPE Cares need volunteers to help contribute to the park’s maintenance and demonstrate how SPE members globally could make a significant impact to the San Antonio community.
The initiative calls for volunteers to continue this legacy to leave the community in a better shape.
Information:
Where: Hemisfair Park Conservancy, 434 S Alamo St, San Antonio, TX 78205
When: Sunday 8 October 2017, clean up will start at 9:00am volunteers will be expected to meet at 8:00am.
