Will I have to show up in person, I have a pretty tight schedule

I do not think I am able to attend the actual event. But if I am an alumni outreach do I just attend the January 11th meeting?

Will this potentially count towards community service hours? :D

2B. ASC Jackets

• Sr. Orque has distributed!

• Ms. Hernandez’s reply on January 10:

• Following up on your desire to donate money to Stop AAPI Hate. I spoke to Dr. McCann and this is what she shared regarding how to go about making a donation:

• 
  

  Thank you for your email. It is great the students want a portion of the proceeds from jackets to make a donation. I always just submit a fundraiser check request and include the organization's mailing address and a brief cover letter. I've attached the one we use. Then, the school just sends the check for us. 

  
  
  I have attached the donation letter template/example that Dr. McCann shared. Please take a look and then work together as a board to craft yours. Once your letter is ready, Ms. Wong or Mr. Orque--can you fill out a check request, I can sign off and put the account number before submitting.
  
  
  - Ashley and Nam will write the letter by the end of the month
  - Potentially raise the price for ASC jackets for the alumni? ($99.99)
