WI Chapter 6 Direct Request Letter Assignment

You are an intern in the Center for Transformative Learning and have been tasked with finding new Applied Learning Experiences (ALEs) for Tarleton students. Your boss needs to expand the philanthropic and community relations and especially employee volunteerism. She heard about Southeastern Guide Dogs, a program in which volunteers raise puppies until they are old enough to enter their guide dog training program, and thinks this would be an excellent outreach program for an ALE. Students could give back to the community in their role as puppy raisers. You have been asked to request information about the program and ask questions that a student interested in raising a puppy might ask. She doesnt have time to think about all the details and relies on you to raise other logical questions including who pays for the costs of raising a puppy.

Write a direct request letter to John Smith, Volunteer Coordinator, Southeastern Guide Dogs, 4210 77^th Street, Palmetto, FL 34221.
