Join the NDDC in volunteering at the Father McKenna Homeless Shelter on Saturday, January 30! The Day Shelter welcomes approximately 95 men each day for an array of services. Without volunteers, the shelter is not be able to be open on Saturdays - so this would really help them out! They need volunteer support 7:30 - 1:30, so we're looking at 2 shifts (7:30-10:30, 10:30 - 1:30). The nominal schedule is as follows:
7:30 Arrival and Quick Orientation
8:00 Serve Coffee/Tea and pastries
8:30 Serve breakfast
9:00 End of breakfast / Prep lunch
11:30 Group meeting in Chapel
12:00 Serve lunch / eat with the men
12:45 Clean-up
If you are interested in helping out, that would be great! Please email MaryKate Robinson at marykate@alumni.nd.edu if you are interested and what your availability is (what shift you would like). And feel free to pass on the invite/request!

BETTER OFF BOWLING
Looking for some alum sports fun over the Winter?
Better Off Bowling is a co-ed social bowling league for young professionals that run two separate leagues, one on Sunday afternoons AND another on Tuesday evenings during the Winter (and yes, the NFL games are on the big screen TVs, PLUS no bowling on Super Bowl Sunday!). 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 January, and the league starts rolling Jan 17th for the Sunday league and Jan 12th for the Tuesday night league!
As Fighting Irish alums, we get $10 off the regular registration price with the discount code: DCALUMWIN16
