Calling all makers! Join us tonight to make your own beeswax food wraps, a sustainable and reusable way to store your leftovers and snacks! Beeswax food wraps can replace single use clingwrap, and are made out of 100% natural materials. Swing by the Makers House from 5-7 p.m. to make one for yourself or as a gift. We'll see you here; keep making!
Come out and donate nonperishables and hygiene products to the Center for Service to pi faculty, staff, peers and counselors outside of the Mount Cafe.
Celebrate Pi Day at the PAC on Saturday, March 14 from 4–8 p.m. Stop by and grab a free mini pie to celebrate 3.14.
