| I encourage you to join the campus 
              community in volunteering for Rebuilding Together Weekend Saturday 
              or Sunday, April 26-27, 2003. 
             Rebuilding Together, formerly Christmas in April, is a national 
              volunteer organization that provides free repairs for community 
              facilities and low-income seniors and people with disabilities so 
              that they may continue to live independently in a safe environment. 
              UC Berkeley is a sponsor of Berkeley-Albany-Emeryville Rebuilding 
              Together. Cal volunteers have helped build wheelchair ramps; install grab 
              bars and handrails; and repair leaking roofs, inadequate heat and 
              plumbing, and crumbling stairs. They have painted, removed fire 
              hazards and planted flowers. To these Berkeley residents, UC is 
              more than an institution; it is a good neighbor and friend. Three sites will proudly display a Cal banner this year: Two Berkeley 
              homes and, in partnership with the city of Berkeley, Willard Middle 
              School. For Willard School and one home, the workday will be Saturday, 
              April 26th. The second home will have its main workday on Sunday, 
              April 27th. On request, Rebuilding Together will assign groups to 
              the same site. The work day is 8:30 am-3/4:00 pm. Volunteers receive a Rebuilding 
              Together T-shirt and are invited with their families to attend the 
              Volunteer Recognition picnic in Live Oak Park after the workday. Volunteer registration forms are available at: Chancellor's Office, 200 California Hall
