Celebrate the Association's Anniversary by Helping Katrina Victims When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans more than two years ago, it destroyed lives, homes, businesses and libraries. On the 2nd Annual SCU Alumni Immersion Trip to New Orleans this past January, the volunteers also learned how great the need is for children's books. Today we are asking for your help to replace them!Here's How: Buy It: a Barnes and Noble Gift Card of any domination. Send it to the SCU Alumni Office and we will send it to the Volunteer Donations Coordinator in New Orleans, who has a discount contract with Barnes and Noble. You may also visit Barnes and Noble online to purchase an electronic gift card and have it sent directly to SCU. Bring It: Bring a new or gently used copy of your favorite children's book (no textbooks please) to the next alumni event in your area. We will then ship these books to New Orleans. Contribute it: For those who want to do more, for a donation of $250 Recovery School District can purchase a full set of 30 classroom books. The donation can be from one family or multiple families and should be mailed to the Alumni Office. The first shipment of books and gift cards will depart for New Orleans on May 1st. Please send all donations to the Alumni Office at 500 El Camino Real, Santa Clara, CA 95053. All checks must be made out to Santa Clara Alumni.
