PEN PALS

Todays a good day to write your pen pal! Some topics include:

you were young? Why did it change?
-Your favorite course so far and what makes them so great.

You can pick up a new pen pal packet on the VIP office door (2nd floor

of the Union in the RSO Complex). Just be sure to fill out a 1/4 sheet

contact form also in the folder and leave it either in the Community

Justice mailbox inside the office or in the folder marked "community

justice form return".
