Welcome to Sophomore Service Project!!!

Welcome all you wonderful, talented, service-oriented Sophomores!Our team is extremely excited to announce all the members of the project, and welcome you to the incredible weekend that is to come. We know that most of you are going full-on with projects, papers and tests, so remember that this weekend is an excellent way to focus on that which is really important in this life: service to others.A few things we need to run through:Please let us know if any of the following applies to you:---are you under 18?---if so, please call OSD (8-1412) and ask for Dave, so that we can get your parent's permission for this weekend---do you have any dietary restrictions?---if so, please respond to this email, so that meals can be planned accordingly---decided that you can't make it?---if so, we understand and will miss you, but please let us know ASAP so that arrangments can be made to include others in this project (call 8-1412 and leave a message for Dave)Additionally, we wanted to make you aware of a few things:---Friday night dinner--- may be served rather late, depending on your service site. Our program will begin at 4pm in the AMU (more info will be sent later), but dinner may not be until 7-8pm. Please be aware. We are asking you to bring a snack to share, so hopefully, you can make it through to dinner.---Return on Saturday--- return is tenatively scheduled for around 8pm on the 22nd. If this is a problem for you, let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate.---Clothing--- please be prepared to wear ratty clothes for much of the weekend, but know that there is one site where you will be required to wear dressy black pants and a dressy white shirt. See if you can scrounge something up between now and next weekend.---Donation--- one of the sites is asking that we also bring some canned goods for a Thanksgiving meal it is putting on. If you can get your hands on anything for donating, be it a bag or a single can, it would be great.---Lastly--- For anyone who would like to sleep (who are we kidding?) you should bring your own sleeping bag, pillow and please, for the love of Pete, bring a toothbrush. (and any other neccessary toiletries)We will be sending out another email between now and next weekend, but if you have any questions give us a call or shoot us an email. We are SO stoked about this experience, and look forward to getting to know all of you.Sincerely,Your 2003 Planning Team,--Tom Sivak--Annmarie Hansen--Lori Brichler--Christian
