D-Holla 23: Outdoor Service Saturday

Outdoor Service Day & Bulldog Days!

Hey Dwight Hall!

A few things to keep on your radar:

1. We have some exciting OUTDOOR service projects set up for this Saturday, April 9th, from 11am until 1-2pm. Take a break from studying, and get outside to do some active service work! The projects we have lined up are:

a. Park cleanup at East Rock (with Friends of East Rock Park)

b. Community garden cleanup and potluck lunch (with Chatham Square Neighborhood Association)

c. Cleanup on the New Haven Green (with Town Green Special Services District)

All of these are great organizations to get involved with, and the projects should be super fun! Bring your friends! If you're interested, email This email address is hidden from email harvesters via JavaScript .

2. BULLDOG DAYS is coming up! Next week's D-Holla will come out on Tuesday with a list of Dwight Hall-themed events for prefrosh, which will also be distributed to prefrosh as they come into Dwight Hall for the first time to pick up their registration packets. If your member group is hosting an event, please let me know so I can add it to this list by filling out this form.

Speaking of which, the D-Holla will be moving to a more consistent release day. Please get your submissions to me or post them on the website by Tuesday at noon, for a Tuesday afternoon release!

See you at the Japan Benefit Concert,

Yours,
