Info about Service Trip


Greetings,

Wartburg Scholars is in the process of organizing a service trip over fall break. We are looking to go out west to Longmont, Colorado to do local and rural flood relief (specifically in Lyons, but also elsewhere if we cannot venture directly into Lyons). Accommodations have not yet been finalized, but information about that will be coming out soon. The trip is free of cost; the only cost that students who want to go on the trip will incur will be food costs. Everything else will be covered by Wartburg Scholars (travel, lodging, et cetera). 

Fall break is Oct. 24-27. We would most likely be leaving on Oct. 23rd, stay in a hotel on the way out to Colorado, and arrive in Colorado on the 24th. We would arrive back on campus the evening of the 27th. Also, due to the nature of the work we will be doing, it is very highly recommended that anyone planning to go on the trip check their immunization records to see if they have had a Tetanus booster within the last five years. If not, then it is highly recommended that students planning on going receive a tetanus booster. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can and would commit to such a trip, and if you have any questions about the trip. I would like to have a count of how many people will be going by Friday, if possible. You can respond via this form or email scholars @ wartburg.edu if you are interested.

Looking forward to having another great fall break trip this year! Hope that some of you can join!
