To all Sociology students, please see below. Any replies should be send to Faye Hanson ([log in to unmask]) or Jennifer Gray ([log in to unmask]), officers of the SSA. The Sociology Student Association of UTA (SSA) is pleased to announce its first annual */Blanket Drive for the Homeless of Arlington/*. Our mission is to collect donations of new and gently used blankets from our UTA family of faculty, staff and students in order to give them to our homeless neighbors here in Arlington. Beginning Thursday October 29, 2009 the SSA will be accepting donated blankets at the Sociology and Anthropology Office, in room 425 of University Hall. The SSA will be accepting the blankets through November 20, 2009. After collecting the blankets, members of the SSA will be personally distributing them to our homeless neighbors here in Arlington, with the help of Mission Arlington and its affiliates. We will be giving the collected blankets to our neighbors on November 23 and 24, 2009 just before the bitter cold weather is here for the entire season and before we break for the Thanksgiving holiday. The Sociology Student Association of UTA will be expanding awareness with signs in the classrooms of University Hall and the Business Building. Those of you who hold classes in these buildings may be approached by a member of SSA, to request permission to make a very brief announcement in your classroom in an effort to raise awareness for the Blanket Drive. On behalf of the Sociology Student Association at UTA, and our homeless neighbors here in Arlington, we thank you in advance for your time and blankets! Sincerely, M.
