FYI—

The American Indian and Indigenous Community Center (AIICC–122 Squires) is serving as drop-off point for a donation drive for Hurricane Matthew victims through October 26th. Donations will be delivered to North Carolina by Melissa Faircloth, AIICC Programming Assistant.

While this drive is intended to benefit ALL victims, some American Indian and Indigenous Alliance members have been in contact with tribal representatives from Eastern Carolina communities that were hardest hit. This event will at least rival Hurricane Sandy in its devastation. People in Robeson County have shared that recovery seems impossible at this point and they are at a point where counting their blessings is of little comfort.

Non-perishable food items, water, toiletries, first aid supplies, clothing and baby items are requested.

THANK YOU!

Please consider coming along with Alex Hyler (VP of Events) to the October 27th GSA meeting.
She will represent IDR to the student body via a brief 3-4 minutes of background information about IDR and then field Q&A on how graduate students can then get involved (again verbal or slides).

As many of you know, Alex is also an executive member of the GSA, so it seems especially important that others come to stand with her so she doesn’t feel she’s wearing too many hats. Plus, at the end, there may be students that have direct questions you too can answer.

If you can come, please contact Alex directly! Ahyler@vt.edu
