Greetings Members of The Association of Law Students for Disability Rights,
We are so excited for this year and already have some great events planned! ALSDR is pleased to announce it’s FIRST MEETING THIS THURSDAY September 16th at 5pm in KN 103. Food and Drinks will be provided. 2L and 3L members PLEASE DONATE YOUR OLD SUPPLEMENTS or outlines to give to new members! Please drop off your supplements during my office hours Thursdays from 10:30am-12:30pm (located in the SBA office) or Nora Devine’s office hours Tuesdays from 2pm-3pm (located in the SBA office). If you are unable to make those times, a box with the label “ALSDR DONATIONS” will be placed in the SBA office. Thank you in advance for donating your supplements and outlines to 1Ls—we all know how confusing the first year of law school can be and our group hopes to assist members through the transition.
At our first meeting we will discuss our Association and our short term and long term goals. We will discuss the ALSDR positions available (position descriptions and openings are attached to this email) and elections. We will have signups for our first service opportunity which is volunteering at the Disability Arts Festival at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, Saturday, October 2, 2010 from 10:00am–3:00pm. The event includes: Museum Tours, Art Demos/Art-making Activities, Art Slam 2010, Performances and Disability Culture Presentation, and will be a great way to get to know members!
Finally, the SBA will be having a fundraiser this Wednesday, Sept 15th, to raise money for the San Bruno Fire Fund. All money collected from the bake sale will go to the San Bruno Fire Fund (http://www.siliconvalleycf.org/san-bruno-fire-fund.html). The Silicon Valley Community Foundation has already signed on to match up to $100K in donations! If you are interested in either baking something on behalf of ALSDR or tabling to sell baked goods please email me at katierobert4@gmail.com so I can put you on the list.
As always we will continue to update the blog http://usfsdsrep.blogspot.com/ with upcoming events, information and opportunities. I can’t wait to see you all at the first meeting!
