civilization's lateral extension versus delving deeper

Workers who extend this civilization laterally find appeal in novel word combinations. Workers who delve deeper find themselves needing to break words up and reassemble new ones from the parts.

Science extends this civilization laterally. This is evident in its contentment with words as they are.

Yale day of service

Yale has created what they call the Yale day of service, one day a year where Yale alumni and their friends and family do volunteer work in their communities.

I think I'll ask my girlfriend, Crystal, if she wants to do it with me. I'll still do it myself if she doesn't want to.

I have chosen as site the Primo Center for Women and Children, a homeless shelter in west Garfield park here in Chicago.
