BLANKET COLLECTION
November 30th-December 9th
SBA'S "Spiritual Life Office" is sponsoring a blanket collection from Nov. 30 - December 9. We are asking for new or almost new blankets, clean and without holes, that will be donated to Saint John's Hospice in Philadelphia for the homeless.( Some of you will remember "PIN" - People in Need.)
"Friends, grads, parents and students, lend me your ears" ( I think I remember that from high school); we need your help to make this drive a success. If everyone donates one blanket, WOW! we would need a truck to deliver them. So, waste no time checking your closets, running to K-mart or any discount store, grab a blanket or two (pay for it, of course) and bring it to the Spiritual Life Office on the lower level.
We'll be waiting for you!
