So no one except Ashish volunteered for today's Prison Books project
(and he was the PC).
I'm not sure if you realize it, but people work hard to arrange and
organize APO projects and events. FOR YOU. They do it so you can
perform community service, feel good about yourselves, and make a
difference in the world. When you don't take advantage of this
opportunity, you waste their time and a great opportunity.
Those of you who are hosed, sick, or away for the weekend, this isn't
directed at you. But those of you who rationalized away this project
in favor of playing video games or watching a movie or sleeping 12
hours or doing something I can't mention over email, think of it this
way: in the time that you wasted sitting on your sad, slovenly ass,
you could have satisfied the educational needs of many lonely
prisoners in the Massachusetts Penal System by sending the books they
need to further their education and promote their assimilation back
into society. I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
But not to worry, Ashish is working on rescheduling the project for
next week. Please don't rationalize this project away. There are ~35
active brothers in APO, I don't see why five of you can't volunteer
for a project and make it a success.
Also, no one has volunteered to PC or go on the project coming up
this weekend at the Easton Children's Museum (meet in office at 9am
Saturday, back on campus by 4pm). I know it's early, but it won't
happen otherwise. RSVP to me if you want to go or PC the project.
And Steak Fry is happening. Pledges, one of you DEFINITELY OUGHT TO
PC THIS. Bigs, poke your littles to do it.
I'm done,
