[Aphio-L] New Orleans Summer Trip '09

[Gaby Swisher]

Hey Guys!

Are you looking for a way to give back to the community this summer? Get out of
your hometown? Hang out with some great bros and make lasting friendships?

Well, boy, do I have an idea for you!

Come to New Orleans!!!

K so enough with that nonsense here's the deal (not set in stone):

When: August 16-21 (or 15-22 or something along those lines) 

What: Volunteering with St. Bernard Project, a non profit that works to rebuild
devastated homes from Hurricane Katrina.  (www.stbernardproject.org) << Check it
out!

Where:  St. Bernard Parish, about 20 minutes outside of downtown New Orleans-
we'll stay at Camp Hope, which is a volunteer camp.

PRICE: In the 200 range, however we do usually go to Bourbon St and out to eat
once or twice, so saving around $300 would be a good option. I'm going to work
to get grants to bring this price down, however.

Here are the two videos I showed at chapter if you missed it/wanted to watch the
whole thing so you will know the history behind the parish (which, by the way,
is Louisianian for county)

Shoot me an email back if you're at all interested, you won't be committed to
anything I am just trying to get an idea of who would like to go.

In LFS,

Gaby
