For anyone who's still out there, from mrn....
More than eighty-five chapters and petitioning groups have now
reported
their participation in this year's National Service Day. Safety skits
for children,
blood drives, CPR courses on campus, disaster simulations, fund
raisers for the Red Cross and
more have so far added up to over 1500 brothers who joined with
friends and neighbors to contribute almost 6900 service hours on or
around the first Saturday of November. The governors of South
Carolina, North Dakota, Maine and California, and several dignitaries
in Louisville, Kentucky, proclaimed November 2, 1996 as an official
National Service Day. Projects were covered on TV, radio, and more
newspapers than can be counted.
To commemorate this dedication to service, every chapter and
petitioning group that participated in a theme project (and reported,
of course) was sent a new
National Service Day certificate. You can't miss it - it's bright blue
and green and features a shiny NSD logo sticker. And the first
chapters and petitioning groups that hit all the goals have been
shipped the '96 Participation Pins. (By December 6) We ran out early
this year - that
means more chapters are achieving the theme/sharing/PR targets and
getting in those reports promptly!
Thank you to everyone who accepted the challenge of National Service
Day to unite with your Brothers across the country in this important
effort, and congratulations to the following APO groups who together
received 460 Participation Pins.
