Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry for the delay, here's the recap from Tuesday.
Nov. 21st, 2006

News:
We have a "Twin Club" at the University of Mongolia! :) Good job, Bettina! Our first project will be a gift exchange. We talked about taking pictures of the campus and ourselves to put together in an album. If you have any suggestions contact Bettina. ktam1@swarthmore.edu

Pierre and I are setting up a meeting with the SBC to discuss budget plans and getting back the Rotaract Charter. :O
We would like some freshmen members to be involved in this process also because it would benefit the group. Let us know if you would like to help us in the planning stages.

Meetings:
Nov 30th 4:30 PM: The board of the Swarthmore Rotary Club is having a meeting at Borough Hall (the building with the library down in the Ville). to talk about Swarthmore Rotary's current "International Service" project - helping to provide clean water to communities in Guatemala. You can contact Swarthmore Rotary President Ron VanLangeveld with any questions. Please let us know if you are planning on attending the meeting.

Activities:
Bazaar for Katrina Relief: Pierre has a sign up sheet for Bazaar shifts. I was going to post the shift schedule on the blog....but I stupidly left the sheet in my room on campus. I will have the schedule online as soon as I get back to campus. Please contact pfont1@swarthmore if you have any interest in helping out.

Dec 9th, 2006:
Saturday of Service Event--volunteer with a Craft Fair at the Freeman Cultural Arts Center. Volunteers are needed to help run stations for children, making holiday presents (like using fabric to decorate blank notebooks), watching movies or reading stories. Volunteers can also help with serving food and singing carols during the event. The set-up will begin at 10am, and the day runs until 5pm. Teresa is offering transportation from Swarthmore to the Freeman Cultural Arts Center in Chester at 10am and 1:30pm, so that volunteers can plan to spend half of the day or the full time.

Contact Teresa if you are interested in this event at tkelley1@swarthmore.edu -- I'm pretty sure you will have to campus mail another set of Hold Harmless forms. (Teresa Kelley '07).

Enjoy your breaks!

Cheers!
