Spring Fever!

Its finally almost spring break!! Just 3 more days! If you have not yet signed up for a spring break trip and would like to tomorrow is the LAST DAY to join the Harvey, IL trip. Visit the Chapel office to sign up.

For those of you who are already signed up for a trip or are going on any other spring break adventure (band, Costa Rica, etc.) there will be a send off at Friday morning prayer in the chapel.

The World Relief Campaign is moving along great. We are already up to around $5,000 which is a lot further than we were last year at this time. Thanks to everyone who helped with the basketball game and the Indian goods sales!

Since we are already at such a high amount, Records Committee is going to be making more Jenga pieces for our Gimmick in the Chapel. if you want to help out they are going to be meeting on Thursday at 5:00 in the Chapel.

1.) SALT heard from a guest Peace Corps Rep. last night at our meeting. He will be in the Alumni Room today (Feb. 9th) from 5-6 and at the career fair speaking about his experience and answering more questions.

2.) Next Monday, Feb. 14th there will be an Interfaith through services training event, it will be from 4:00-5:00 in the Hearth Room of the union.

3.) Love the environment?? We are looking for a SALT representative for the Environmental Task Force on campus. If you have a special interest in the environment and want to get involved, contact any staffer or Pastor Jim.

4.) There is still room on the Harvey spring break trip!!!! I went on it last year and can say from experience that it is an absolutely AMAZING experience! Contact Jenni.Sechrist@valpo.edu asap if you are interested at all.

5.) We are in need of more painted chochkes (I have absolutely no idea how to spell that) each week before the meeting at 9:00, supplies will be set out so that those who have some time can pitch in.

6.) Mark your calendars for the Feb. 19th bracket buster basketball game. Homer Drew has committed to making a donation to the WRC based on the number of students who attend up to $250!

Salt is really moving along with our WRC, we have made $1291 so far! That is over 10% of our goal!

Also, a big thanks to everyone who helped out with the kickoff coffeehouse this weekend. Salt made over 400 dollars and it was a HUGE success! Great job!!
