Take the plunge for United Way
Martin Taylor. Photo: UVic Photo Services There’s no time left to just get your feet wet for this year’s UVic United Way campaign. On October 16, Dr. Martin Taylor, President and CEO of UVic-led Ocean Networks Canada, got doused for a good cause at the Dunk Tank Event. This year’s goal is to raise $265,000 by November 30. So take a plunge into the action: on November 18 in the University Centre, the annual craft-fair fundraiser will feature the work of artisans and crafters from the UVic community, followed by the annual United Way book sale on December 1–3 in the SUB Upper Lounge. And don’t forget to return your pledge form in time to win some great prizes. Visit http://unitedway.uvic.ca for more details.
