Inspire, Fall 2005

26 Fall 2005 C edarville University shares the concerns expressed by so many for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The University family is committed to praying, giving, and volunteering to bring help and hope in the name of Jesus Christ. The University has established a hurricane relief plan with specific financial and volunteer goals to address some of these needs. Since mid-September our students have led the way in giving more than $107,000 for hurricane relief. We continue to distribute this money to alumni who have suffered loss or damage and to friends of the University who are serving victims and offering relief in Louisiana and Mississippi. Beyond their generous giving, more than 500 students have volunteered their school breaks to do relief work in the areas affected by these disasters. Several organizations have asked for manpower, and Cedarville is committed to sending student relief teams at no expense to the student volunteers.

Main St., Cedarville, OH 45314 or by visiting www.cedarville.edu/disasterrelief . Each $150 collected will allow one student to give three to five days of hard physical labor. The next issue of Inspire will be devoted to Cedarville University alumni affected by Hurricane Katrina and the CU family response. If you were personally affected by the hurricane or have taken part in volunteer efforts, please share your story by contacting alumni relations at 1-800-837-2566 or alumni@cedarville.edu .
