What: Hurricane Katrina Relief Trips alumni reunion luncheon
When: Sunday, January 17th, 2016, noon to 3pm
Where: Student Union 304, UConn Storrs Campus

The Office of Community Outreach is hosting a reunion luncheon on Sunday, January 17th, 2016 at noon, to honor the 10 years of Alternative Break Trips dedicated to serving the Mississippi and Louisiana communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina caused a historic level of damage to the communities of the Gulf Coast; it also catalyzed a wave of public service, such as these alternative break trips, that continues to this day.

All alumni participants, team leaders, learning partners, and trip directors from these trips are welcome to join us for this event, which will include delicious southern-style food, guest speakers, a slideshow of pictures from 10 years of trips, and a chance to catch up with old friends and reminisce on the meaningful memories made in Louisiana and Mississippi. Everyone is also welcome and encouraged to join us for the MLK Day of Service the following day, Monday, January 18th. If you’re interested in making it a full UConn weekend, you can check out the Women’s Basketball game vs. Temple at 6pm on Saturday, January 16th, in Gampel Pavilion.

The RSVP deadline for this event has passed; please contact Lisa Coté at lisa.m.cote@uconn.edu with any questions.
