A Message from Terra, our VP

Dear Amnesty International Members or Participants:



As the current letter writing coordinator, I want to address anyone

who is interested in this and in gaining a nomination to this

effect.  Some of the positions will serve as the teaching grounds for

the future of the letter writing campaign.  Letter writing campaigns

are an important part of Amnesty International at its chapter level.

Next year I will be a third year, meaning that it is the last year

that I can create the letters, do the research, conduct the teach-ins

and then send the completed letters to the appropriate heads of

state.  It is a bit of a detailed process.  A lot is accomplished by

sending these letters and it is imperative that we keep accomplishing

this mission.



I am concerned about the future of letter writing at Amnesty

International, and hope that people show an interest in continuing

this effort.  If you are interested in current events,  international

law, and the plights of others than I urge you to come to the meeting

or contact us.  I feel that this would be of particular benefit to

those who want to practice in immigration law, diplomacy, want to

work for an international NGO, plan on taking the Foreign Service

Exam, etc...



To reiterate, any interest in this learning doesn't have to present

an overwhelming burden upon you next year.  I would like to slowly

teach one, two or three others about how to go about the "process" so

that when I am gone we may continue to be a strong chapter for

Amnesty International.





Sincerely,



Terra Girolimon-VP
