Dear Campus Community,
Okay, we’re in the final stage now. It’s time for everyone to push to the finish line and get LionShare open. That sounds wonderful and exciting... but how? I’ll tell you how… There’s nothing like a little competition to create the kind of excitement we need about LionShare. If you have the spirit to compete, whether solo or as part of a team, see the rules at the end of this email. But let’s say you don’t want to compete, but you definitely want to donate. We’ll make it easy to give a monetary donation or drop-off food. Just bring your food donations to one of the drop-off locations in Woodland (by the library), Sutherland (by Solarium), or Lares (by the front desk). If you wish to make a monetary donation, bring a *check, money order, or cash to **Lares front desk or mail to:
LionShare
1600 Woodland Rd.
Abington, PA 19001
*Please make checks payable to: Penn State Abington- LionShare
**Please contact Mr. Albert Weinstein ([email protected] ; Phone: 215-881-7665), if you need a gift receipt for your tax deductible donation.
