Have a Heart! Show the Love!

Please take time to stop by the valentine table in the undercroft during the next two weeks to write a short message to our college freshmen.  By now, the shiny has probably worn off the gee-whiz-I’m-at-college feeling, and with these kids all at Midwestern schools, they might be feeling the soul-sapping effects of scarce sunlight and gracious plenty wind and snow.  Let’s lift them up with some goofy mail!  You’ll find all you need to write a simple message in the spirit of Saint Valentine, the patron saint of young people.  Many thanks to Nichole Dailor for this great idea!  If you know a college freshman who would enjoy this, please contact Dee McManamy, and we’ll happily add him/her to the mailing list!
