UVic Plant Sale May 3
The 2009 UVic Plant Sale will be on Sunday, May 3, in the McKinnon Gym. Doors open at 10 a.m. and the sale ends at 1 p.m. Proceeds from the sale support the development of UVic’s Finnerty Gardens. New for this year: a table of plants from UVic gardens and a bagged manure fundraiser for the Victoria Riding for the Disabled Association. The sale, which always offers a huge selection of outdoor plants, is organized by the volunteer members of the Finnerty Garden Friends.
Quitters win
Congratulations to the following employees, who remained tobacco-free during round 1 of the UVic Quit and Win contest, and their non-smoking buddies—each won a draw prize of a $75 HBC gift card: Jo-Anne Braidwood, Cheryl Crooks, Claire Jannaway, James Mason, Brian O’Hare and Ryan Winchester. Round 2 of the contest wraps up April 24, and six more prizes will be awarded. Participants who remain tobacco-free for the entire 12-weeks will also be eligible to win the grand prize of a trip for two to Seattle. Information: www.uvic.ca/clearair
