It is time again to issue the call to action for those interested in the Newman Club's Annual March Madness. Newman's March Madness takes place right here in the City of Worcester on March 12th this year. It is the Club's annual project to help the poor of our city and once again the place of action will be Youville House, a shelter for battered women and their children.
We hope to repair and renovate an apartment or two at Youville House. This is done by WPI students who come back early from their Spring vacation and donate a full day to the project. This will be the Club's tenth year doing an Appalachia in Worcester project. While the idea behind the project is to help poor people in their lifestyles, the project has become well known in the city and has brought fame to WPI as well. People in the city are impressed by the fact that students are willing to give up vacation time to help their fellow human beings. The project is opened to the first twenty-five students that apply. We meet that day at the the Religious Center at 9:30 A.M. and are transported to Youville House. We return by 5:00 P.M. Lunch will be supplied. If you are interested call the Religious Center ( 757-6097 ) or e-mail priest @wpi or bprince@wpi.
