In my final (*sob*) year in CHV I plan to set up a functioning alumni. In the first step towards achieving this aim I have created a group on facebook for all the CHV Alumni to join. Please can all 4th years or final year students join the group too so that I can start collecting contact details for when you leave CHV. The group is called "CHV Alumni" so just search for it on facebook. Please DO NOT join if you are not leaving CHV in the summer as you'll just confuse me!!  Also please can you send the link to the group to anyone that you know who used to be in CHV.Thank you,Claire xxx("Ordinary Member") http://www.chv.org.uk/news.php?newsid=261 http://www.chv.org.uk/news.php?newsid=261 MonAMCETE_RMarchC822 Children's Charity News Hello.I have an amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity for you..**BUNGEEE JUMP FOR CHV IN POLLOCK HALLS**The Cost would be £30 (cheap as chips)Taking place Sunday 14th March as part of RAG (Raising and Giving) Week 2010.  GET IN TOUCH ASAP.Many Thanks,Tegan & AdamGo on, you know you want to... http://www.chv.org.uk/news.php?newsid=260 http://www.chv.org.uk/news.php?newsid=260 WedAMCETE_RMarchC822 Children's Charity News
