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 Hi CHV,Last night a fiver was found on Brandi down at the feet of the passenger seat up the front. Let me know if it is yours- Maybe from a weekend camp/daytrip or from Awareness Week Stuff Warning!

It is running from 15th- 20th February and this is a chance for CHV to really make a big noise around all Uni Campus's. This is a chance to raise more money, raise our awareness and make contacts. We urgently need some volunteers to come forward to say that they will help organise and run a few events during this week. This is such an important and exciting week for CHV and really something amazing to say that you have been involved with. If you felt that being on committee was  a bit too much but wanted to get a bit more involved, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!Remember, the more people that volunteer, the less work it will be per person.Please, please let me know ASAP if you are interested and we can get this started! :DKaty xx http://www.chv.org.uk/news.php?newsid=256 http://www.chv.org.uk/news.php?newsid=256 TueAMCETE_RJanuaryC822 Children's Charity News Hello!I hope you are all well and being back at uni isn't too much work just yet!!Should you need something to distract you we have a number of exciting Fundraisers coming up so put them in your diary and drag all your friends along!20th Jan (this Wed!) - ULTIMATE 90s KID PUB QUIZ7,30pm Teviot Loft Bar        £1 per person Come along and see how much you remember about the 90s!
