Dear Student Group,

             We are pleased to announce that this year's Graduate Student 
Volunteer Day will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2005.  Since your 
group has hosted a volunteer site activity in the past, we are especially 
looking forward to your participation again this year!

             We are currently recruiting graduate student group leaders to 
organize and lead a volunteer site for a mix of 10-15 students from your 
group, new students, and other students interested in your volunteer 
activity.  Please see our website for examples of the many greater Boston 
volunteer organizations that we have helped in past GSVDs :

As you know, this is a great event in which to introduce new students to 
your organization, make new friends, and make a difference in our community.

             If you are interested in getting your group involved in this 
year's GSVD and planning a volunteer site activity, please let us know of 
your interest at gsvd@mit.edu and plan to attend a group leader meeting 
next Tuesday, June 7, at 7pm in the GSC office, 50-220.  Dinner will be 
provided.  At this meeting, we will give you more details on how easy it is 
to lead a volunteer site.  If you can't make it to this meeting, we'll have 
another group leader meeting on Monday, June 20 at 5:30p.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 
gsvd@mit.edu.  Thanks and we hope you are looking forward to a fantastic 
GSVD VI!
