This pooch palace gets some finishing touches in the facilities management paint shop before being raffled off in a fundraiser for the UVic United Way campus campaign. Larry Greenhalgh (left), Brian Stancil (centre) and Reno Fedrigo are among several staff volunteers who helped design, build and paint the one-of-a-kind doghouse. Other volunteers are: Donna Anderson, Colin Butterfield, Dick Chappell, Mike Dunnett, Suzan Geisreiter, Don Lovell, Alan Oliphant, Jerry Robson, Ken Saunders, Mike Smith, Paul Ward and Paulette Wilkins. Tickets for the doghouse are $2 each or three for $5. Facilities management recently raised an additional $563 for the United Way through its highly successful mulch sale.Patty Pitts photo |
Two major fundraising events this coming week highlight the United Way campus campaign.
On Nov. 2, loads of loonies will be laid end-to-end around the university fountain at the Loonie Lay-In, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Come out and cheer on your favourite UVic student group as they go head-to-head with Camosun College for loonie supremacy. Bring loonies from your office or department's Casual Fridays fund and pledge them.
The "Book-for-a-Buck/Tune-for-a-Loon" sale takes place at the McPherson Library on Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. All the books, CDs and albums cost only a loonie.
Tickets are now on sale for the Linden Singers concert for the United Way campaign. The renowned choir will perform on Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the University Centre Farquhar Auditorium. Tickets are $12 ($8 for students and seniors) and are available at the UVic Bookstore, SUB Text, Ivy's Book Shop, Munro's Books, Ward Music, Tourism Victoria and the McPherson Box office (386-6121).
