Malaria kills the equivalent of seven jumbo jets full of children every day. You can help. Malaria is preventable, and a single insecticide treated mosquito net can save a life. Depauw is holding its first ever World Swim for Malaria on April 15 from noon-3:00. All the money raised from the swim goes toward the purchase of LLIN (long lasting insecticide nets) for people in affected areas. There will be a table in the hub on Tuesday and Thursday from 11-1 if you are interested in donating or signing up for a swim. Help us squash malaria!

Please help Circle K give the girls of Putnam County an amazing prom by donating any gently used formal dresses or accessories, i.e. purses, shoes and jewelry.

Collection times after Spring Break are TBA. Please do what you can to help out a great cause! Questions? Contact Amy.

We're collecting 12-oz, uncrushed soda or beer cans and the plastic rings that connect them, for a large art project that is part of the 2007 DePauw Biennial Exhibition. You can drop your cans and connectors in the collection bins located in the lobby at the Peeler Art Center.

Or, if you'd rather start your collection in your building, give us a call, and we'll pick them up!!

The cans and connectors are needed by April 19, when the Chicago artist collective Biggest Temporary Gang Ever will begin to assemble a 6,000-pack of cans, an enormous carpet of cans that will be paraded across campus.
