Description:
We have a busy and exciting book packing planned this coming Saturday! We are hosting Alpha Phi Omega again, as well as UW Grad Students from the Physics Department. We'll also have a few of our regular United Way volunteers. This is likely the last event of the year because in spite of these unseasonably warm days, the warehouse is still pretty cold. It would be great to get a good turn out from the club and we can definitely use some extra help.
We had a very successful year as we were able to make two shipments to Houston (in spite of the truck shortage). Last week we sent a 5 pallet shipment of desks, chairs, books to Engineers Without Borders in Chicago. We have about 40 pallets wrapped and packed (a few are desks and chairs), so it's possible that we could get one more truckload out yet this year.
Thanks to everyone who was able to volunteer. Let me know if you can make it this Saturday. We'll bring some special snacks!
Cheers,
Ellen
