interest
and discussing it.</tt><br>

Fathers.
It meets every other Thursday in W11 starting 10/6 from 7 -8:30pm.</tt><br>

- <st1:City w:st="on">Boston</st1:City> Cares<br>
As many of you know, last semester I spent a great deal of time meeting
with
the campus ministries at several <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Boston</st1:place></st1:City>
area schools and discussing the possibility of collaborating on
service/social
projects. I have also spread my belief that there should be an
opportunity for <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Boston</st1:place></st1:City>
area college students to meet and get to know one another through
working together
on a shared project. For this past school year, the Regis College
Campus
Ministry has been working very hard at organizing a day to accomplish
this
goal, and I am very pleased to announce that such a day has come! <br>
On MARCH 25, 2006, the service organization BOSTON CARES is hosting two
service
projects that I would like to invite you to join us in working. The
first
project is that of TUTORING kids at the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Boston</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Latin</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Saturday</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Success</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
The
children are junior high and high school age students in need of help
in the
areas of Math, Science, English, or Latin. The time for this is 8:45
a.m.
to noon. If tutoring does not interest you, you also have the
opportunity to
lend a hand at the BOSTON RESCUE MISSION. At the Rescue Mission, you
will
be aiding the homeless and the poor of Greater Boston. The time for
this
alternate project is 10:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. The fun of the day
doesn't end there! As a way to celebrate the collaboration efforts and
the
service projects, we are hosting a party during the evening of March
25th! The
theme of the party is ?BOSTON UNDER ONE ROOF,? and the
hours are 10 P.M. UNTIL 1:30 A.M. Admission into the party is $5.
For those taking part in the service project, however, admission is
free!
Please know that you do not need to participate in the service project
in order
to come to the party. All are welcome to dance the night away! <br>
If you are interested in taking part in the service project, please go
to the <span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span><span
class="moz-txt-underscore">Boston Cares</span><span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>
website at <a href="http://www.bostoncares.org%5B1"><span
style="color: windowtext;">http://www.bostoncares.org[1</span></a>].
There
is a link on the site that allows you to sign up for the
project. There is a registration fee of $10. Please
also R.S.V.P. to this letter and let me know that you will be joining
us!
There are limited spots available, so please respond quickly. It is
necessary for all new volunteers to go through an orientation training,
and we
will take part in this together once the final numbers are confirmed.
Should
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 413-695-4985
or
e-mail me at <a href="mailto:ehair503@regiscollege.edu%5B2"><span
style="color: windowtext;">ehair503@regiscollege.edu[2</span></a>]. I
very
much hope to see you on the 25th so that you may take part in this
exciting
day! <br>
