Come to GSC’s general body meeting on Tuesday, February 9th to learn about how to bring sustainability into the bedroom, in light of Valentine’s Day. If THAT isn’t enough to make you come, like always, there will be delectable snacks and we will be making ‘green’ Valentine’s Day crafts after the meeting.

(Sorry no image, not sure it would be entirely appropriate for this one)

Interested in finding out about the Peace Corps? Curious about how you can make recycled notebooks? Looking for a way to be involved?If you said ‘yes’ to any of these questions then GSC’s next meeting at 6:30 in MAEB 211 is for you!

Meeting material will include:

-a presentation on The Peace Corps

-notebook sorting for …our cereal box notebook project

-information on some cool upcoming events

-and, as always, delicious snacks

(Although I was unable to attend last week, I have heard that finding the building is a little tricky. You may want to look it up on a campus map before you come; it will likely be our room for the rest of the semester.)

Ginny Stibolt, a naturalist with a master’s degree in Botany, writes about Florida gardening for Jacksonville’s The Florida Times Union. Stibolt will visit us at Tuesday’s meeting to share her knowledge about sustainable gardening in Florida. She will have copies of her book, Sustainable Gardening For Florida, available for sale.

Come out for this fun and informative talk and Q & A, followed by delicious vegan treats! Don’t forget to bring cereal boxes for a craft project we will be doing in the near future!

When: Tuesday, November 10, 2009
