SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

THANK YOU! Last Wednesday, June 8, the Bake Sale to benefit the local Soup Kitchen raised a total of 165 Euros.  Special thanks to faculty and staff who both baked and donated for this cause, and thanks to Kathleen Williamson and Siboney Molina (SLU-Madrid students and Campus Ambassadors) who supervised the table.  Thank you as well to those who have expressed your willingness to collaborate in other ways. The money raised was given directly to Soqui, the Franciscan nun in charge of the Soup Kitchen.  To learn more about this important community outreach, please contact Ana Aizpún, Campus Minister in Padre Rubio Hall or at aaizpun@slu.edu.
