CARP USA November 2022 Newsletter: A Season of Gratitude — Jinil Fleischman

A Season of Gratitude When we see all that our CARP chapters have been up to, we are left with a big smile on our faces. In the season of Thanksgiving, we saw so many gatherings happen whether it was a Friendsgiving event, a cozy dinner, or a big community party. We love seeing how there are so many opportunities that our friends can plug into. It truly shows that where CARP is, a loving community is being built.

We would also like to express our gratitude for all of your support from Giving Tuesday! This season is the time where we gear up for our end of the year campaign. It is through contributions like these where we are able to fund our students well with chapter care packages, scholarships, programming, and many more! If you would still like to make a donation, here’s how you can contribute:

1. Give online at carplife,org/donate 2. Make out checks to ‘NCARP’ and send them to NCARP, 481 8th Ave #A6, New York, NY 10001 3. When you shop on Amazon, shop through smile.amazon,com and pick ‘National Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles, Inc’ as the charity - we will receive a portion of your shopping proceeds. It’s an easy way to give!

As we head into the last month of the semester, we acknowledge that this is the final stretch for our students (you got this!). There are many winter programs that are in the works! As we stay tuned to hear what’s to come, check out what chapters have been up to recently:

Network (LFN) called Sexuality, Integrity, and the University (SIU).
