Hey Folks,

Bubbles here, Business Manager of your beloved Freshman 15. Pardon the brief departure from the usual wittiness of this blog, but I am currently working on a project that I thought you might be interested in hearing about. For one of my classes, and as the beginnings of a possible a cappella-related philanthropy project, I am researching the level of involvement of collegiate a cappella groups in neighborhood schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. This is the first step in an initiative to spawn more charitable interest in the collegiate a cappella world. The project is very much under development but will hopefully lead to the creation of an organization to encourage and arrange free performances by collegiate a cappella groups at nursing homes, hospitals, and assisted living facilities across the country. If this sounds like something that interests you, please let me know. I will certainly be looking for people to help get this project moving.

I have been working on a survey which I will be sending out to a cappella groups across the country. Thanks to SURVEYSMART (http://www.surveysmart.co.nz) for providing me with an Academic License for their survey formatting program.

I'll let you know as I continue to make progress on this project!
