Katie's goin' to the UK!

Hey there! I'm Adam, Katie's kind-of techno-savvy friend, and here to tell you about why you should help her go to the UK.

Katie Drefke is a recent grad of Northern Michigan University with a degree in Sociology and minors in Psychology and Art, in a fast-paced three years! For most that would leave little time for anything else; Katie, however, the recipient of the "Involved in Nearly Everything" Award from the Student Social Work and Sociology Organization, didn't let her studies dominate her life. She was an active member of the Lutheran Campus Ministry at NMU, SSWSO, Psi Chi, and co-founded Students Against Sulfide Mining... well, you get the idea.

Her religious involvement is now promising to take her to new and exciting places! Through the Young Adults in Global Mission Program of the ELCA, she has been accepted to a mission trip in the United Kingdom, doing more of the exciting work which she's done for the past few years.

However, this is where Katie needs your help. You see, she's responsible for partially funding this enterprise, to a tune of $3500 by the fall--and three packed years of college don't leave a lot of time to save. We, her friends and family, will of course contribute... but she can still use all the help she can get.

Later, this weblog will be updated by her as she completes her year-long mission in the UK. In the meantime, please help her get there by donating to the fund, using PayPal:
