SAINT JOHNS UNIVERSITY STEPS UP BIG AGAIN!

On November 30, 2006 we hosted another event to raise awareness and funds regarding the plight of thousands of ill first responders as a result of 9/11/01. This was our third event on campus this semester, but rather than people being sick of seeing us, they came out in numbers larger than the first two events! This is amazing on two fronts, not only have these students continue to show up to learn and support our cause, but beint that SJU is a heavy science school - most of these young people are the physicians, PAs, Med Techs and Pharmacists of the future.

We would like to compliment our staff for whom whithout we would be able to get exactly zero done.

We would like to thank Idil Kirmica for not setting a new standard in "customer relations" by being able to convey our message to the most amount of people in the fewest words, AND for getting the SJU radio station to make an announcement about our event.

We would also like to recognize 3 new people who helped us for this event: Nilam Wadhvania, who has been working with us in the Public Relations Dept and Aliza Moorji and Cindy Jairam - who both gave up a day to come and volunteer getting the word out. Thank you ladies!

We also recognized the winners of the "How Much Do You Love NY" contest: Rachelle Ocampo and Leena Thomas who were presented with the Iloveny gift pack that included signed posters from the Ground Zero Museum Workshop, a very generous donation by Gary Marlon Suson. Thank you Gary.
