| Happy New Year! |
| It has been a great nine months since we launched UBC-TO. From all five volunteers at UBC-TO, we wish you all the best wishes in 2011. Here are some pictures of A Reception to Rebuild Haiti event that took place last month at the Drake. Special thanks to Réa Beaumont, Danielle Da Cruz, Sami Dong, Briar Gorton, Katherine Lee, Kristen Miller, Lisa Niemetscheck, Kilim Park, and a group of volunteers from Humber College’s Fundraising & Volunteer Management program for their help at the event!
Special call out: Danielle DaCruz is calling for mentors for our mentorship program, and Alex Cameron is calling on all hockey players that are UBC grads in Toronto for an Alumni Hockey Tournament in the spring. |
