NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP
Coordinator
Phildrich Teh (pteh@ucsd.edu)
Saturday,
February 7th, 8:00 Am - 3:00 pm
The
Harris Fire Recovery
Center has given PASS a
great opportunity to help those who lost their homes due to the 2007 wildfire
crisis. This project would require PASS members to clear brush around the homes
of those victims that are too old and poor to do the cleanup by themselves.
Most of the fire victims have been waiting for over a year to move in and
perhaps would never do so if no one helps. Furthermore, insurances will
withdraw their homes and the county can issue hefty fines of up to
$3,000. Come out and make a difference! We will meet at Sungod and please
email me if you are interested. Rides will be provided and anyone who
volunteers to drive will be reimbursed. Remember that these people are counting
on you so don’t miss out!

SPECIAL OLYMPICS POLAR PLUNGE
Coordinator: Teresa Bau (tbau@ucsd.edu)
Saturday, February 28th, 8:00 am – 11:00 am
This is Special Olympic's annual fundraiser event which is
soooooo much fun. Held at Oceanside Pier, this event involves plunging into the
Pacific Ocean early in the morning and staying
in for as long as you can handle the icy deliciousness! PASS got an award for
most plungers last year, so let's see if we can have the biggest team again
this year! You don't need to know how to swim....just slightly masochistic
enough (which pre-meds are anyway) to tolerate the cold! =)
To
join a project you must email the event’s coordinator with a request to be
added to list of attendees, or sign up with the coordinator at a general body
meeting.
If you have them, please don’t
forget to wear your PASS shirt to projects and socials!
All drivers that volunteer to help drive will be
reimbursed.
If you
have any questions, please send an email to pass@ucsd.edu Please do not
send emails to this address
Sincerely,
Ronald Chang
