TRIP WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE OF HURRICANE
================
Students MUST be a member in good standing of NIU-ACA to participate in the
NIU-ACA prison trips.
Angola prison is one of the largest in the world. We will be departing
on Thursday, September 29 and returning Monday, October 3. We will tour
some of Angola and will see the Angola Rodeo (Sunday, October 2).
Preliminary signup/drawing/etc is done in selecting participants for
Angola. Those signed up:
Phalon Carpenter
Suesette Carre
Sandy Marquest
Deanin Rivera
Aimee Rucinski
Jim Thomas
There is a slight chance that we can take one or two more, depending
on whether our "sister chapter" takes it's full share of people, so
if you are interested in going, YOU ARE URGED to put your name on the
waiting list.
COSTS:
Airfare to Baton Rouge: About $300 currently
(note: Amtrak is about $222 roud trip, 19 hours. A university van,
if we can get one, is about $900, the trip is about 14 hours).
But, we'd need two vans with 7 or 8 people (counting me) and all
our stuff, so flying is probably best)
Lodging: A room is $75.60 per night (4 nights). We have reserved
some double rooms, and a bed can be rolled into for tripling up (at about
$10 extra a night). So,
Doubling: about $150 for 4 nights
Tripling: about $100
Food: Whatever you spend. Probably about $20 a day
TOTAL COST: Depending on whether you doubled or tripled, and how much
you eat/spend, between $500-600.
We can take only 6 or 7 students, so there will be a waiting list.
Signing up does NOT commit you to go, but please sign up only if you
are 95 percent certain. If not, put yourself on the waiting list.
