Panera Fundraiser Tue Oct 23rd!

Fundraiser Tuesday October 23rd between 5 and 8 pm at the Panera in the Walmart plaza

How it works:
You go to Panera (and bring your friends!!) to order dinner
Make sure to pass in a flyer when you order because we only get money from orders with a flyer
As long as we pass in at least 50 flyers we get 20%!!

Don't forget while you are there to order a dozen bagels or a loaf of bread for later!


Print out this flyer to bring with you:

Girl Scouts Day

Girls Scouts from all over MA came to UMass this weekend to Discover engineering. They built a kicking machine and a high rise. They even made some ice cream with dry ice. And in the end they unexpectedly ran into the Justice League!
