SATURDAY 10-1: On the Rise Volunteer Day! :)

by Dudley Public Service

Hi everyone, We hope you're all having wonderful spring breaks! For those of you who will be in town this weekend, just a reminder about our volunteer day THIS SATURDAY at On the Rise (http://www.ontherise.org), a safe haven that helps women who are homeless or in crisis find safety and discover new possibilities. In a physically and psychologically safe environment, On the Rise builds the relationships and provides the tools that each woman needs to rise to her potential. We'll be meeting at Dudley at 9:45 to walk over to On the Rise (a short walk from Dudley at 341 Broadway) or you can feel free to meet us at On the Rise at 10. Please just reply to this email to let us know you're coming! We'll be helping out at On the Rise from 10-1, during which time we will also take a tour and have an introduction to program. Refreshments will be served! We just learned that our main project will be helping out by assembling invitations for On the Rise's big annual fundraising event, so if you like arts and craftsy things, this project is for you! All are welcome (men and women)! Feel free to bring friends! Hope to see you on Saturday!! --Maria --------------------------------------------------------------- Dudley Public Service Fellows Denise Ho, Ernesto Martinez, and Maria Stalford Lehman Hall, 1 Harvard Yard, Cambridge, MA 02138 fax: (617) 496-5459 http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dudley/fellows/pubserv/pubserv.html To receive updates about Dudley Public Service Events, go to http://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/dudley-pubserv --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
