EnCo Weekly Update (Oct 20 - 26)

[UI Environmental Coalition Presidents]

Hi EnCo!

Today was the first day of the Free Market and we had a ton of cool stuff and a great turn out! Thank you to all those that hung out and volunteered. It was a lot of fun. 

Tomorrow, Tuesday the 21st is the second Free Market from 12-5pm at Hubbard Park. We will still be accepting donations! Come check it out. 👕👀🔥♻️

Thursday Meeting 

Our meeting this Thursday, October 23rd, will not be in the IMU. Instead, it will be a social event at EmmaJean's house! We will be having a bonfire and hanging out. It is normal time: 7-8pm. If you are interested and want more details, please join this GroupMe: EnCo Bonfire 🔥🌲🪵

Also! Don't forget to send a picture of you and your eco brick to one of the co-presidents before the meeting to be put in a raffle for a sustainable price!!
