Dear Faculty,
I am writing you with regard to WashPIRG's largest event of the year,
the 13th Annual Hunger Cleanup. UW joins hundreds of campuses across
the country again this year on April 12th to Clean up our community .
Last year's event was a major success with over a hundred students
participating at the UW, with over $1000 raised for local and national
relief organizations.
I would first off, like to invite you to join us for this event at
10am in Red Square on April 12th. Rep. Jim McDermott will be speaking
as will other members of the community. Participants will enjoy
breakfast, then head out into the community to volunteer three hours
of their time.
Secondly, I would like to ask you if we could return to your classroom
to get interested students involved in the event and others through a
presentation format. We are asking all faculty who teach
undergraduate classes in the spring quarter to be a part of our
successful recruitment drive. It would greatly aid our drive if we
could be allowed to enter classrooms in the first three days of
classes to make a 2-3 minute presentation on the Hunger Cleanup and
our volunteer and internship opportunities. Please respond with the
following information, if you are able to help us out.
(If you have already responded, please ignore, or forward this note.
I will be writing you this week with a confirmed date.)
Sincerely,
Gunter Krumme-
Thank you so much for your response to my letter. Did you happen
to get it from Lucy Jarosz? I write a description of the Cleanup below,
and some tips on how to get involved. I hope this is what you needed, so
PLEASE forward it to all your students and anyone else interested. Also,
if you would allow someone from our group to come into your class and
make a presentation to get people signed up that would be great. Let me
know as soon as possible if we can, and spread the word! Thank you!
