Abstract

Happy Spring Alumni!! After the long winter we have all endured this year, I’m sure you all are just as excited as I am to see the trees beginning to bloom, the flowers beginning to poke up through the earth, and to feel the warm rays of the sun.!Well with the warm weather comes lots of activities, such as the Roper Victim Assistance Academy. This is the 11th year of the Academy, can you believe it? Once again it will be held at the beautiful Bon Secours Spiritual Center in Marriottsville from June 1st-6th. I hope you will consider popping in at some point to show your support to the new students and to catch up with your fellow Alums. Just think back to your own experience at the Academy and how special it was to see Alumni there and to have the opportunity to network with them. Once again the Academy week will start off with the Ice Cream Social that Sunday evening, so please join the Academy faculty and staff in greeting the members of the 2014 class and share a bowl (or two) of ice-cream with them to help them start off the week on a “sweet” note. Just email Linda Fair at lfair@ubalt.eduto let her know if you plan on attending.!There are also lots of exciting things coming up for VSPN this year, so please keep your eyes and ears open for news! It looks like we are going to try another train and shopping excursion since so many people told us how much fun they had the last time, and once again we will be soliciting your help in identifying a family we can sponsor during the upcoming holiday season. VSPN will also offer a few trainings this year, as well as help out at the advanced training which will be held during this year’s Academy. So keep watching your emails and upcoming newsletters so you don’t miss out on any of these great events!!Wishing you all the best ~ until next time...
