FALL 2003
Upcoming
Branch Out Events!!!
Please Mark your calendar and
GET INVOLVED
Call
215-951-1804 to get involved
(x1804 on-campus)
September
6th: The first will be in September when we
will partner with the Logan Community. LaSalle will participate
in the 3rd annual “Lets Love Logan Community
Day”, September 6th. The festival will be filled
with games, music, dancing, a talent competition, children’s
activities and resource information tables. Branch Out here
would need help in set up and break down of the events, coordinating
games and activities, and be of general assistance as needed.
October 4th: The second day will take place
on October 4th when LaSalle will partner with Philadelphia
CARES. Philadelphia CARES holds an annual volunteer event
in which thousands of residents in the tri-state area participate
in this large scale volunteer project. LaSalle will be a part
of this year’s Philadelphia Cares Day. We will be volunteering
in local LaSalle community schools active in clean up
and restoration of facilities.
This is
an invitation to YOU to become an active participant in Branch
Out! This year, we encourage you to join us in either day
or both! Please help to continue the tradition of Branch Out
here at LaSalle!

Dear Neighbor:
We are writing to invite you to participate in our 8th year of
Branch Out. While it has been our tradition to start our academic
year with a day of service we have made a major change in our approach.
Branch Out will be an ongoing commitment throughout the academic
year. Every first Friday and Saturday of the month, beginning in
October and ending in April, with the exception of January, teams
will be going into the community for BO. This change has come about
for many reasons.
Last year, after months of preparation BO was rained out. We were
very disappointed but our wonderful student leaders made lemonade
out of lemons. They created mini Branch Outs throughout the academic
year. The idea was a good one because it gave us flexibility, and
contact with the community throughout the year.
It is our intention to work in partnership with you in a project
that will last about three hours. The time will vary depending on
the availability of both groups. With the option of either a Friday
or a Saturday we hope to meet community and student needs, and create
a good experience.
Please contact us if you would like to be a Branch Out site. Please
bear in mind that we cannot guarantee the availability of a team
but we will work hard to recruit one. We will let you know two weeks
prior to the date whether we have been able to arrange a joint project.
Every team will have a faculty or staff advisor to go with them
and who will be in communication prior to the day of service to
work out the details. We will fill requests on a first come first
serve basis giving preference to those requests that are partnerships
between the La Salle University and community groups.
If you have any questions please call us at (215) 951-1804. We
look forward to working with your group.
In community,
La Salle University Branch Out 2002 - 2003
