Dump and Run / Environmental Fair 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM Saturday, May 3 Memorial Arena (South St. and LeMarchant St.) Dalhousie University The Society for Corporate Environmental and Social Responsibility (CESR) and Dalgreen are organizing a Dump and Run and Environmental Fair at the Memorial Arena (Dalhousie Campus) on May 3, 2003 from 8:30am to 3:30pm. CESR and Dalgreen are both student organizations at Dalhousie University that are committed to raising awareness about environmental issues. What is a Dump and Run? Dump and Run is a community garage sale. Items donated or left behind by outgoing university residence students are sold to raise money for local charitable and non-profit organizations. The goals of the event are: -to reduce solid waste that is annually generated by the mass exodus of students at the end of the academic year -to redistribute reusable materials -to educate the community about local environmental organizations and the issues and campaigns they are working on -to increase interaction between university students and the surrounding community -to raise funds for local charitable organizations and environmental campaigns Dump and Run has been a successful event at Acadia University and several American universities. Where does your environmental organization come in? During the sale there will also be an "Environmental Fair". We are inviting local environmental organizations to set up displays and send representatives to educate the public about their organizations, and any issues or campaigns they are currently working on. This is a great opportunity to incorporate a community event with building awareness about local environmental issues and concerns. There is no cost to set up a table display. We will be supplying tables and chairs. We would like to have your organization participate in this event. If your organization would like to participate or if you have any questions, please contact me, Heather Arnold, by email (harnold@dal.ca) or by phone at (902)423-1242. Thank you, Heather Arnold Dalgreen *P.S. To donate items for the sale on Saturday May 3, please drop them off at the Memorial Arena between Tuesday, April 29 and Friday, May 2 from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM or reply to cesr@dal.ca to arrange a possible pick up.
