Plant Services hosts annual Phase II event beginning Tuesday

Monday, May 4th, 2015

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week, with the event open for viewing beginning today (Tuesday) at 8 a.m.

Items will be open for viewing in the Macy and Sutton basements Tuesday, May 5, through Thursday, May 7, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and on Friday, May 8, from 8 a.m. to noon. After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to local charities.

At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

Questions? Contact Debby O’Kelley at dokelley@georgefox.edu.

Please pay attention and don’t park in the areas that are blocked off so that the painting crews won’t be slowed down by cars parked where they shouldn’t be. Every Monday we will announce in The Daily Bruin where the painting crews will be for that week.
