St Thomas of Villanova Celebration
Day of Service
Saturday, September 22, 2007
UNIT SERVICE SITES

In support of Fr Donohue’s Day of Service as part of the St. Thomas of Villanova Celebration the UNIT management group proposed the idea that we (UNIT) sign up and work together at specific locations on Saturday September 22nd. The thought was as a sign of solidarity and support around service and as UNIT colleagues. We encourage your participation in a day that will be rewarding and fun. The day starts at 9am at West Campus if you are using VU transportation to sites. Otherwise, service times are listed below. Transportation and lunch will be provided if desired. Volunteers will be brought back to campus, where there will be a campus dinner from 4pm to 6pm. A football game vs. University of Penn follows the dinner. Click here to reserve tickets.

* The starred sites are FULL and are not accepting any more volunteers.
