Westmont College Needs Volunteers

Dear Local Alumni,

Thanks for all your support and prayers during our recovery from the Tea
Fire.

I know many of you were able to join us at Saturday night's exciting soccer
game.

There definitely is a sense of gratitude for all the support we have
received from alums, parents and the community.  Having 2000+ fans at the game was a
tangible reminder of that support.  

I am sending this request on behalf of the Student Life office and want you
to be aware of an opportunity to assist our students as they return to campus this
coming weekend.  We are gathering volunteers to greet our students and their
parents as they return to campus to resume the semester.  Student Life would
love to have volunteers at each residence hall providing a welcoming hand as the
students move back into their rooms.  The Student Life Department is coordinating
the check-in and hopes to have 50 volunteers at each of the five shifts.  The first shift
is to assemble gift bags for each returning student that have arrived from
other colleges as an expression of support for our students.

1.    Friday, Nov 28:    1-4 pm
 2.    Saturday, Nov 29:  11:30 am - 2:30 pm
 3.    Saturday, Nov 29:  2-5 pm
 4.    Sunday, Nov 30:    11:30 am - 2:30 pm
 5.    Sunday, Nov 30:    2-5 pm

Everyone helping will come to the Founder's Dining Room on the lower level of Kerr Student Center. 
Kerr Student Center is accessed by parking in the first lot on the left after you enter through
the main campus entrance.

If you are able to assist us in welcoming our students, please send a note to
stulife@westmont.edu with the shift that works best for you.  Please also reply
if you are able to assist for part of a shift.  If you would like to help at a particular hall,
please indicate that in your response as well.

Thanks so much and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

With gratitude,
