Dear friends,
Happy New Year! I am writing to let you know that the 8th annual Amanda Kundrat memorial blood drive will be Thursday, January 28th from 10am-4pm in 7 Sparks, Penn State Learning Center. If you live in Happy Valley, we hope you will consider supporting this annual effort to honor Amanda's memory.
If you are not in Happy Valley, please consider donating wherever you may be. If you do decide to donate or volunteer, please let us know with a note or a picture. We keep track of these numbers and factor "long-distance" donations into our yearly totals.
There has been a new and exciting development this year. The annual NCA/ICA Health Communication Master's thesis award is now the Amanda L. Kundrat Health Communication Thesis of the Year Award! Read all about it at: http://www.icahdq.org/aboutica/awards/kundrat.asp
Financial donations are still needed to ensure the long-term feasibility of offering this award. Individuals who wish to make a financial contribution to support this effort can do so through the Amanda L. Kundrat Memorial Fund. Donations can be sent to: Amanda Kundrat Memorial Fund c/o Graduate Forum, 234 Sparks Building, University Park, PA 16802. The check should be made out to "Graduate Forum" with "ALK memorial fund" in the memo section.
Wishing you all the best in 2010.

As you tally your 2010 blood drive contributions, please know that I contributed in Amanda's memory last night at the Red Cross in Philadelphia, PA. Although I did not know Amanda personally, I do know her mother, Joanne, and I thank you for the opportunity to recognize a beautiful life ended too soon.
