GSA Announcement: UT Environmental Volunteering Opportunities for Spring 2007
Message from the UT Environmental Center.
Dear Graduate Student Assembly
We'd like to invite you to volunteer with the SG Campus Environmental Center for one of several upcoming environmental service events: Trash to Treasure, Beautiful U Day, or the Waller Creek Cleanup. Please consider signing up as a group. Also please let your members know about these opportunities; individual volunteers are welcome.
Volunteer with Trash to Treasure and help reduce waste during move out! Trash to Treasure's goal is to reduce waste during move out by recycling students' unwanted stuff in a campus-wide garage sale.
More than 150 volunteers will be needed from May 5-22 to collect and sort donations. Shifts are 9AM-Noon, Noon-3PM, and 3PM-6PM. All volunteers get a free Early Bird Pass to the Trash to Treasure Garage Sale on August 26th, so you can get the best deals. You also get access to a volunteer-only secret preview on August 25th, where you'll get to scope out the stuff before anyone else.
This is a campus-wide recycling effort, and we need your help! To volunteer, please contact Will Beard at williamhenrybeard (at) gmail.com or 210.260.5592, or sign up at: http://www.TrashtoTreasureUT.com/volunteer.html
