[SPAM] GWiP Charity Drive Update

[Marci Howdyshell]

Dear Physics Department,

The Graduate Women in Physics would like to thank you for your outstanding
generosity during the first week of our charity drive!  So far, we have
accumulated *727 Newtons* of donations! We are* more than halfway* to our
goal, but we're not there yet!  If you have not donated yet, please
consider cleaning out your closet this weekend or picking up a small
toiletry at the store to add to the collection. Every little bit counts!

THANK YOU for helping us!

As a reminder, we will be collecting items until Friday, November 18. You
may drop them off in the boxes of the PRB main office mailroom anytime
during office business hours. The list of the most requested items is shown
below for your convenience; we will, however, accept items that are not on
the list. To answer one of the common questions we receive, kids' clothes *are
*accepted!

Sincerely,

The Graduate Women in Physics
