This Friday, November 19, we will meeting at the CAB building at 3:30. We will plant and finish weeding the garden until 5:00. Its time to plant and your help would be greatly appreciated. The gardening tools will be supplied. I will send out another email with a schedule of times to help tend the garden once we break ground. If you have any questions or would like more information about helping, please don’t hesitate to email me.

I hope to see you all there! Thanks Paige Dixon

EARTH Club will meet on Monday November 15th at 5pm at the Greenhouse Classroom.

AGENDA
• form Garden committee
o Monday November 8th, Don Ramsey met with 5 members of EARTH Club to design and plan out the winter garden. EARTH Club will form a garden committee and they work on the garden at times of their choosing (and let all members of EARTH CLUB know about the times) instead of trying to squeeze gardening in the 20 minutes of sunlight. The committee will use EARTH Club funds to purchase seeds and plants. Gloves can be borrowed from the Recycling Department.
• Collection of Writing Instruments for recycling and as a fundraiser for EARTH CLUB
o Sanford sent EARTH CLUB 15 boxes for the Recycling Writing Instrument collection. We can spend part Monday’s meeting time, decorating the recycling collection boxes and designing the PR campaign for the program.
• PR for the next screening of “TAPPED”

EARTH CLUB will be showing “TAPPED” http://tappedthemovie.com/ at the Student Union tonight at 7pm in the theatre. We will have a drawing for several Kleen Kanteen water bottles.
