Operation
Brotherly Love
Dear
Friends and Co-Workers:
During
this time of turmoil in the United States, people across the country
and indeed across the world, are banning together to express their
sympathy and horror. While many of our thoughts and prayers are
with the victims and their families, there are venues available
for those who wish to give a little more of themselves.
Student
Financial Services is sponsoring Operation Brotherly Love. We feel
so strongly and deeply about giving of ourselves to help our neighbors
affected and devastated by this senseless tragedy. If you are interested
in contributing money to this effort, room 212 Franklin will be
acting as a central location to collect donations. Please stop by
with either your cash donation or check made payable to the American
Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, and it will be forwarded to the
Red Cross. For those wishing not to give cash, the Salvation Army
& Red Cross are collecting supplies (see list below) for the
relief effort. These items will be collected in Room 212 Franklin
Building & forwarded to the Salvation Army and/or Red Cross.
We
cannot undervalue the importance of this effort nor the significance
of individual contributionsno matter how small. New York and
Washington, D.C. are only a few hours removed from Philadelphia
and many local families and students have been affected by this
tragedy.
Help
us unite to assist our neighbors as they cope with this very difficult
time. Please stop by with your donations or if you have questions,
call Yvonne at (215) 898-9955 or (215) 898-7234.
You
and others in your department/s have always been generous in other
worthy causes we assisted such as the Midwest Floods and especially
the Gulf War. Please join Student Financial Services now in assisting
those who are in desperate need of our help. Please pass this message
on to your friends, co-workers, colleagues, and other departments
or areas near you.
