[Salt-l] Read the SALT Shaker-Spring 2013 Edition!

Hello all of you stupendous SALTers! 

 

In order to save on printing costs and paper, we have decided to make this edition of the SALT Shaker available online through the Chapel website (http://www.valpo.edu/chapel/salt/index.php) as well as in the attached PDF file!  Read this issue for reflections by SALTers about this year's spring break trips, the final update on the YAWA Project, and info about the Lutheran Malaria Initiative on campus!

 

Thanks to everyone who wrote for or contributed to the Shaker this year; working with you all as your editors has been such a great experience!  We wish all of you a wonderful summer and year ahead!  Congratulations to Miranda Joebgen and Abbi Blake, the 2013-2014 editors of the SALT Shaker!  Thank you all again for a great year!

 

Peace of Christ,

[Salt-l] Call for photographs!

Hey spectacular SALTers! 

In a very short time we'll begin to put together this year's last edition of the SALT Shaker, and although we have some great articles we are still in need of more photos!  If you went on a spring break trip and have some cool pictures, send them our way!  We're trying to have all trips represented with articles and pictures.  Pictures of SALTy events on campus/in general would also be great!  PLEASE send the photos to saltshaker.valpo@gmail.com ASAP!  They would be much appreciated!

Don't let finals get you down!  You are all wonderful! 

God's peace,

H & K

[Salt-l] Lutheran Malaria Initiative's Change Malaria Week and Car Smash

Hello SALTers!

As part of my fellowship with the Lutheran Malaria Initiative, I have some exciting news to announce:

- All this week, students on the LMI team will be walking around in bed nets and carrying change jars as part of our Change Malaria Week project. Be on the lookout for those nets and donate your spare change to save lives from this deadly, yet preventable disease!

- There will be a benefit car smash this coming Thursday, April 25th, from 9am-4pm in the parking lot by the softball diamond, co-hosted by the Chapel. In celebration of World Malaria Day, we will have a car that you can smash with sledge hammers to release some stress before finals! $5 for 3 hits or $10 for 10 hits and all proceeds will go to directly support LMI's work in Africa.

These are two great ways to get involved in our campaign before the year closes out! Hope to see you all there!

Blessings,
