grad students/ outreach

[Olga Yokoyama]

Genevra, you're right that once a year is not enough, and that it should
not come from above,God forbid. But too many of us don't do it even once
in ten years. If each contributes at least a day a year, the difference
would be huge. The whole mentality will change, and we have to start
somewhere. Wouldn't it be great if ALL of the SEELANGers agreed to donate
just one day to start? In half a day one person could research all the
precollege schools in his/her community and write them a letter or call them.
Then use the other half to visit those which responded. This is just a
crude fantasy, since most people won't stop there (one hopes). Sort of
like "a march of dimes" or something. Time amounts to life, and 1/365th
of life is considerable, after all.
