Sustainability Workday: Tie Dye, Polar Bears & Chalking

We will be having a sustainability workday this Sunday, October 12, 4pm at Nicole’s house. Her address is 404 College Main, Apt. B (behind Northgate).

Afternoon Agenda (4pm):

  1. Tie Dye- We will have a make-up tie dye session for those who could not make it last weekend.  Please bring a white t-shirt and be on time. If you cannot make it, but still plan to volunteer and want a shirt, call or email me.
  2. Polar bears- We will be constructing cutouts of polar bears and making polar bear costumes. Yes, you read that correctly. If you want to know more and are intrigued by what this potential demonstration will be, come on Sunday!
  3. Painting- Mime boxes, banners, and anything else needed to be painted will get done.

Evening Agenda (7pm):

  1. Location- Meet at Sul Ross Statue (front of the Academic Bldg) at 7pm. Do not be late!
  2. Chalking- Chalking of all sorts will take place, i.e. classrooms, walkways. 

Important: If you have tie dye, chalk, staplers, staples, paint (house paint and/or banner paint), paintbrushes, white cardboard, scissors or white sweats you no longer want, let me know.  Seriously.

If you have any questions call me at (210) 310-6177 or email at amelie66@neo.tamu.edu.

Critical: Sustainability Items

I hope everyone’s day is great. Tonight we will be having the ASE general meeting at 8:30pm in MSC 229. Several important items concerning Campus Sustainability Day will be discussed.

  1. We will be creating tie dye t-shirts for the event. This Saturday, October 4 at 2pm everyone needs to meet at Nicole’s place. She is located at College Main and Louise, look for brown cabins. Bring a white shirt, tie dyeing will be going down, and eventually stenciling too.
    • If you cannot make it this Saturday, please bring a white shirt to tonight’s meeting if you want to have one made.
    • Also, if you are coming out on Saturday, please RSVP to Nicole Boriski (phizzycola@yahoo.com) so she can have an idea of supplies needed; running out of dye won’t be good.
  2. At next Tuesday’s Sustainability Council meeting (October 7 @ 8:30pm, MSC 229) we will have some guests present their ideas to help with promotion. Then afterwards, or concurrently (we may break into two groups) we hope to be painting in the banner room. So come on time and be prepared to listen and paint. It will be fun!
  3. Several members have already been sending out general invitations to groups to attend (not participate but be attendees). I need several of you to volunteer to send out more.
    • Please go to http://studentactivities.tamu.edu/online/search/index.
    • Choose a category of organizations, see those already taken below.
    • Email me the category you have chosen, choosing several is smiled upon :)
    • Download this document, open and fill in the blanks with the respected information for each organization within the category.
    • Copy, paste the invite as the main body of the email, then send. Below is what has been taken:
      • Nicole: social/political; education
      • Erin: Campus Service
      • Kelley: spirit/tradition, liberal arts, fraternities/sororities
  4. Continue compiling craft ideas and instructions
  5. Begin compiling your favorite quotes, factoids, statistics, books, and resources that we want included in our sustainability pamphlets.

I appreciate you reading this and I hope to see you all tonight at 8:30pm. Good luck on exams!
