Burnett" <bburnett@andrew.cmu.edu> Subject: Re: Important Request from Shernell: Pakistan Earthquakes SARC is hosting a mini-activities fair today and tomorrow from 4:30-6:30 in Wean Commons. You're welcome to setup shop to solicit for donations. I've CCed our Homecoming chair, Avni, so that you can get in touch with her. Also, we're also hosting the Homecoming Chili Cookoff this Saturday; you're welcome to setup there as well (we'll be able to make an announcement to the crowd). Outside of SARC, I'm on the E-board of Greek Council. We're always looking for new initiatives to involve the Greek community. If you'd like our help with the logistics of any event, please let us know. I've also CCed the Greek Council President, Bruce Burnett, on this email. As for the Candlelight Vigil, can I get more information on the logistics? I can talk to Alumni Relations about including it in the Homecoming program.
