BETTER OFF BOWLING FALL REGISTRATION
Looking for some alum sports fun over the fall? Better Off Bowling is a co-ed social bowling league for young professionals that runs on Sunday afternoons during the fall. They have a bunch of young professionals along with a number of other school alum groups and usually have ~400 fun social people in the league. They've contacted us hoping we would be interested in getting a team or two together (does not have to be all alums though). Registration ends early October, and the league starts rolling October 13th!
As Fighting Irish alums, we get a $11 off the regular registration price with the discount code: DCALUM1013

HANDS SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
Hello! We are HANDS, a non-profit organization founded by three Guatemalan Notre Dame students in 2008 that provides short-term volunteer experiences in Guatemala and El Salvador. We're writing to spread the word to Notre Dame Alumni Clubs and their members about the volunteer opportunities we offer.
As an organization with strong ties to Notre Dame, we understand and admire the commitment of the Notre Dame community to service. Since 2008, we've attracted over 220 volunteers from Notre Dame and other universities who travel to Guatemala or El Salvador and work in education, housing, or medicine, representing more than 3,000 hours of volunteer service. We accept volunteers year-round, from all ages and nationalities, and we'd like to invite you and your members to discover the power of making a difference through volunteerism.
As an Alumni Club, we know that you have committed to the 6 C's. We believe that we can help you enhace strong values of social responsibility and fulfill your Community Service requirement by arranging trips for alumni who wish to help others and volunteer abroad. It is truly an amazing experience!
Please consider helping us promote our organization to your Alumni Club. More information about HANDS can be found on our website, our Facebook page (follow us!) and/or you can contact us directly through this email address. We would love to give you more information about our service opportunities in Central America and the many ways you can impact others!
