INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / FEBRUARY 28, 1989

 

Have you ever wondered
what Bill Day’s days are like?
Heres your chance to find out!
As part of the 2nd Annual Foun-
dation Fair festivities, we are
raffling off the opportunity to be
President of Douglas College
for a day.

Bill Day has graciously, (if
not nervously), agreed to step
down as President and into the
shoes of the winner of the raffle.
He has assured us he will “type,
teach, tidy-up, or take notes",
whatever that person would nor-
mally do in a day.

 

The swap is scheduled for
Monday, March 13th, from 8:30
am. to 4:30 pm., to kick-off the
start of the Foundation Fair.

The raffle is open to all stu-
dents, faculty, staff and
administration of Douglas Col-
lege. Tickets go on sale this
week at the Foundation Office
in Room 4800 and are $.50 each
or three for $1.00. The draw
will take place at 12:00 pm. on
Wednesday, March 8th, in the
Douglas College concourse. All
proceeds go directly to the stu-
dent aid endowment fund and

Flea Market Helps Students

It’s almost spring time again,
and that means it’s time to clean
out that garage or basement.

But what will you do with all
the junk? Don’t throw it out.
What looks like junk to you,
could be someone else’s
treasure, and it could even finan-
cially help a needy student.

Douglas College is seeking
items to be donated to its upcom-
ing Annual Flea Market
Wednesday, March 15 from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. in the College’s
concourse.

All money raised goes to stu-
dent bursaries and scholarships
to help financially needy and
deserving students complete
their education.

 

Donations of just about any
"treasures" are needed from
clean, quality clothing, dishes,
books and records to furniture,
toys and crafts.

"All money raised goes
straight to helping students,"
said organizer Robin Ryan. “No
overhead expenses are taken
out. And all proceeds are
eligible to be matched dollar for
dollar by matching grants from
the provincial government."

_ The Flea Market last year
pumped more than $1,300 into
the student endowment fund.

"Last year we had all sorts of
items for sale from an antique
lady’s vanity dresser with mirror
and an antique Singer sewing

 

machine to old china, crystal,
pots, pans and toys.” said Ryan.

And always, amongst the
treasures are items at bargain
prices, he added.

To donate items, drop them
off at the Physical Education
Department, room 1317 or con-
tact Robin Ryan at local 5332,
or Cathy Elson at local 7070 to
arrange for pick up of larger
items.

Everyone is invited to pick
up great bargains at the Flea
Market on Wednesday,
March 15.
