UPDATE: RISE AGAINST HUNGER PROJECT

Rise Against Hunger (RAH) Project update: There was a final decision to cancel the event and let the RAH organization redirect the funds raised to either Haiti relief or where most needed. RAH will send a cancellation email out in a couple of days to all who have already registered to volunteer. If you are interested in calculating “meals” that will be contributed from your club, based on funds raised (33 cents per meal), you can check the fundraising list using the link here: https://rah.secure.force.com/events/Host?id=7013Z0000033tx
