Dear Course 7ers, <BR>
<BR>
MIT Best Buddies will be holding our first General Body Meeting on Thursday, September 20th from 7pm to 8pm in Rm. 1-150. <BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Without friends and family, we are alone. In the past, people with intellectual disabilities like autism and Down syndrome have been excluded from the social opportunities that most people enjoy. Please volunteer to be a mentor, become a part of an internationally recognized program on over 360 college campuses, and change someone's life in a one-to-one friendship. It has honestly been one of my most rewarding and fun experiences at MIT because you get to see for yourself the person you are making an impact on!<BR>
<B> <BR>
</B>To find out how to be matched in a mentorship with someone with intellectual disabilities for a year and about positions available on the Best Buddies Executive Board, please attend our first GBM! Everyone is welcome. Snacks provided.<BR>
<BR>
If you have any questions, please feel free to email bb-officers@mit.edu at any time! <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Thanks!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely, <BR>
<BR>
Irina Shklyar<BR>
<BR>
Best Buddies President 2007-2008<BR>
