Milk and cookie breaks for the Community Fund Drive

One, two, three, four, we declare a PENNY WAR - with a twist!

From October 14-31, 2016 ASR will engage in a Penny War to raise money for the Community Fund Drive!

In a penny war, two or more groups compete to win a fundraising competition. This year instead of competing by building or department, ASR's Community Fund Drive Penny War will involve several ASR staff members’ pets that have been featured in News and Notes. ASR staff will have the opportunity to 'vote' for their favorite pet, each penny being a vote. If you're not familiar with how a Penny War works here's the low down: the value of pennies collected count positively toward the point total, while the value of other coins or dollar bills are subtracted from the point total. All funds ASR collects will be given to the U of MN Foundation to be added to the Completion Fund Scholarship.

Our featured pets for the Penny War are: Tonks; Bears; Snickers and Meep; and Newman.

To encourage ASR staff to participate, there will be three different Milk and Cookie breaks throughout the month of October. These breaks are scheduled for: October 14 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. in 160B Williamson Hall; October 18 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in 312 Bruininks Hall; and October 26 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. in 220-D Fraser. Come for a cookie, meet ASR staff who work in different buildings, and bring your pennies (or other bills to sabotage). Staff are encouraged to attend any and all of the milk and cookie breaks if their schedule allows.

Collection jars with photos of the ASR pets will be available in these buildings: Fraser, Bruininks, and Williamson.
