Chris and team,
Greetings and wishes for safety from Northern California, where "Team Autodesk 2006-2007" anxiously await to hear news of how East Biloxi holds up.
(And good God - is Doug still there???)
Hi, my name is Collin and I am a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A group of students and I were hoping to go on a service trip over this winter break. We wanted to see what kind of opportunities were available in your area. The trip would probably be in the early weeks of January and there could be anywhere from 10-15 of us. We are a group of hardworking and motivated college students looking for positive ways we can contrubute. Right now we do not have preferences to what activities we do but we have taken four trips to the gulf coast for hurricane relief and do have experience in this area. I look forward to your response.
Thank you,
Collin Reeser
