tis the season to be giving

there's a bunch of projects going on right now at the School of Nursing at UMDNJ, and if any of you can help (even if you're not a student) that would be super awesome! (: tis the season to give. so if you have some time and/or things to spare, and are from the northern NJ area, you should definitely get involved.
