Special MLK Day Volunteer Opportunity

This is a reminder about a wonderful volunteer opportunity that was on the
Hillel list-serve at the end of the semester and that is happening
tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Interfaith Youth Core is
having a service day to partner college students and high school
stduents doing service in the spirit of Dr. King. Following is the
information about the program, which begins at DePaul and will go from
1:30-7:00 PM. This is a program that brings Jewish, Muslim, and Christian
college students and parochial high school students together.

Hillel at Loyola students have participated in this program, since its
inception 3 years ago. Hillel Board Member Alissa Melczer is one of the
group leaders.

Loyola students are leaving from campus at 12:30 PM. Bina Mangattukattil
from University Ministry will be going with the group. If you would like
to join them, please email Bina at bmangat@luc.edu to let her know you
will be coming and to find out exactly where they are meeting.
