[Imc-outreach] [Champ4CS-IL] Regional Committee Meeting Minutes (fwd)

[ellen K]

Here is my suggestion of 54 words to submit to the Community Shares
newsletter. I encourage others to figure out how to cut four words or
write 50 different words, but they want the submission by THURSDAY.

The UCIMC's Books to Prisoners project held a successful book sale on
April 9th. The funds raised will support filling the book requests of
people who are incarcerated in Illinois and the surrounding states.
The UCIMC is also working toward building a new low-power radio
station, WRFU 104.5FM, which will begin broadcasting this summer.

PS I'm really not wedded to this submission... I just thought I would
throw something out since I had a few moments to spare to write
something down...
