I hope you've had a fabulous summer & get to enjoy the last week before classes start. Our mailing list is now back in full swing, so expect 1-2 emails/week letting you know what's going on. If you have any questions, just let us know. If you'd rather not be on our email list, just respond and let us know. So here's the skinny:
LUTHERAN VOLUNTEER CORPS COMMISSIONING: Ben Masters will be spending next year in Minneapolis with LVC, whcih is based out of DC, so we have the good fortune to be close enough to go to the commissioning ceremony for the 124 volunteers before Ben boards his train for points west. If you are interested in going, let us know, and meet us at the Info Booth by the Mason Pond Parking Deck (near the George Mason Statue) at 9AM on Saturday, 8/22/2009. We'll carpool to Metro, then attend the commissioning at Luther Place in DC. Afterwards, we can stop for lunch if everyone is interested. :-)
