Care Packages
June 21, 2011
Greetings from the Rice University Community Involvement Center! With your sons and daughters first semester under way, we wanted to give you a chance to send a little love and fun later in the year. You're invited to order one of our Care Packages for your student. A bag full of surprises can be waiting for your student on one of four days later this year! Students will be notified through their residential college that they have received a Care Package and may pick it up at the Community Involvement Center.
All proceeds from the sale of Care Packages will help fund Alternative Spring Breaks advised by the Community Involvement Center. Each year dozens of students dedicate their Spring Break to serving communities in need, including last year's 15 sites in Colorado, California, New Jersey, Louisiana, South Dakota, Texas, and many other states. For more about these experiences, the student organizations that sponsor the trips, and donor information, please visit http://cic.rice.edu/asb.
The Community Involvement Center Care Package contains snacks (some healthy and tasty, others just tasty) to help sustain your student through hours of studying and other activities. It comes in an athletic sports backpack printed with the Rice University academic seal, which your student can use again and again. Although slight adjustments may be made based on availability, your student's Care Package will include:
SmartPop Microwave Popcorn, Juicy Fruit Gum, Snickers Bar, Plain M&Ms, Famous Amos Cookies, David Sunflowers, Snyders Pretzels, Austin Animal Crackers, Big Red Gum, Nature Valley Granola Bar, Handi Snacks (Cheese & Cracker), Campbell's Tomato Soup, Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Sun Maid Fruit Snacks, Sunkist Pistachios, Chex Mix, Combos, Kudos, Planters Peanuts, Mentos, Cracker Jack, Bic Highlighter, and Papermate Pens (2)
Important order deadlines are listed below, along with a link to the on-line order form. For those of you that have ordered in the past, you may notice that we have changed to an all on-line system to better facilitate the ordering and distribution. You will still have the opportunity, through the on-line form, to write a personalized message to your son or daughter with your words of encouragement. Thank you for your support of the programs of the Community Involvement Center.
Sincerely,
R. Mac Griswold, Director
