Hi folks!

Welcome and welcome back to our old and new subscribers!

Before this message gets down to business, let me just say a quick note 
for those of you who have moved on from UVM or wish not to be affiliated 
with our listserv anymore...
if you wish to leave this listserv and can't figure out how to unsubscribe 
yourself, please email me at [log in to unmask] to request that you are 
removed.  

andddd we're back....

First off, our first meeting of the year is going to take place tomorrow 
night *Wednesday* at 8:30 in L/L 216.  We're still working on getting this 
space, so please meet here and if the space is occupied we'll find an 
empty room for the evening.

So who should attend?  Anyone that wants to get involved is welcome to 
attend!  The way SAFE works is simple...

Simply put: you sign up for our listserv, we let you know what's going 
on.  

If you like an event that we're planning or you'd like to get involved, 
drop us a note and let us know how you plan to help out.  If you're more 
interested in the planning aspects of events, then come on out to our 
meetings and have your voice be heard!  We're a young group, so YOU have 
the power to depict where this organization is going!  

What do we do?  
This year we have some specific events we're planning or helping out with, 
like our involvement with Deaf and Disabilities Awareness Month, where we 
are co-sponsoring a Wheelchair Basketball Tournament with the UVM Program 
Board following a program by Paralympic Athlete Matt Glowacki.  
(www.mattglowacki.com)  
Basically, we want to find ways to use sports as a way to bring people 
together around social justice issues.  

Have some ideas?  Want to know where we're headed?  Just want to hang out 
with some passionate folks?  Then stop on by tomorrow night and we'll get 
this party started...

until next time, study hard, be safe, and take care!

peace and play hard,

-Linds
