Friday's post brought an interesting letter from Mama to Orion and me. Mama serves on the St Mungo's Board of Governors, and she asked us if we believed any of our peers might be interested in supporting the hospital's important work by joining a Junior Auxiliary. Orion and I believe that this is a really special opportunity that will provide young adults like ourselves an introduction to civic participation and to the responsibilities our generation must shoulder if Our Lord's realm is to be as strong and proud throughout our lifetimes as it has been in this, our parents' prime.
The first focus of this new group will be to assist the Board in staging its Second Annual Holiday Benefit Gala, with the added enticement that all of the Junior Auxiliary members who lend a hand to the preparations may attend the party on New Year's Eve. In fact, they've scheduled the event later this year so it would fall during our school holidays for just this reason.
All sixth- and seventh-year students of good repute should watch the morning post for an invitation to join this new organisation. The letter will include a smaller reply parchment that you should sign and return straightaway, indicating whether you are able to attend an organisational luncheon on Monday, 21 December. If you enjoy good food, you should definitely attend: I understand the meal will be catered by Monsieur Etienne Froissart of Le Chien Bizarre.
Orion and I agree that this new Auxiliary gives us a really brilliant opportunity to do something good for an institution on which we all depend. Surely St Mungo's deserves our support. Won't you join us?
