PENNY PIN E-VITE - FEBRUARY 11, 2008

March 13, 2008

January E-Newsletter title

Dear Common Cents volunteer,

I hope this finds you well! I’m writing to let you know about another fun volunteer opportunity with Common Cents.

Each year, Common Cents provides schools across New York City and the country with free Penny Harvest kits—boxes full of curriculum guides, badges, leader pins, posters—everything students need for a successful year of service-learning.

We need your help to assemble more than 30,000 leader pins for 08/09 Penny Harvest students. The pins, made out of pennies, help develop student leadership as well as generate pride and excitement for the Penny Harvest.
