EAW confirmed schedule

[UofM Recycling and Environmental Group]

Here is the schedule for Environmental Awareness Week.  Thanks everyone for helping put this together, although the work is far from finished.
Remember that this Tuesday, Jan. 24 is a chance to let your creativity shine.  We will be meeting in the UMREG 'office' to build the coffee cup pyramid, make posters, and design floats for the parade.  This will begin at 5:30 and last all evening, so please come when you can, and bring any friends who would like to help!
thanks
UMREG
