Attention Jerk Squadrons: Read this

Hello Men:

I just received this e-mail (below, in italics) and it sounds like a great event to take part in. I would love to see some of you guys doing this.

And if I am not mistaken, the second day of this occurs right around Jerk Squad time. Maybe you can show up an hour early to JS and put in some community service. Seriously. It sounds great. Here is the email I received. Even if one person does it, it will have been worth posting this. See you soon.

Dear Marist Community,

It's that time of the year again for the St. Jude Letter Writing Party, Up 'til Dawn! Just like last year, this year's party will be a two night event, Tuesday October 28th and Wednesday October 29th in the Cabaret. The letter writing will begin at 7 PM and will run until 11 PM. Although the event runs for four hours, the entire process of filling out your letters only takes up to an hour. This year, as in years past, the Letter Writing Party includes free food and entertainment lasting the entire night.

For those of you who have never participated in Up'til Dawn before it really is a special event. All you need are 20-25 addresses per person and the physical ability to hold a pen and write! All you need to do is fill out your name on the letter and address the envelope, the letter is pre-written!

This is a huge event for Marist every year because we, as Red Foxes, get the ability to help save lives of children with cancer. Without the funding that we and many other schools across the nation provide, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital could not function in their task of saving the lives of cancer-diagnosed children.

Please take time out of your evening to come out to the Cabaret and help save lives. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Student Government Association at ext.2206.

Thanks and see you soon!
