Green Fact of the Day

Swap out one meat dish a week for a veggie plate. Why? Because raising produce is "cheaper," in terms of energy, than raising animals. Log on to vegweb.com to find tasty, meatless recipes.

Green Fact of the Day brought to you by: Department of Residence Life and the Environmental Stewardship Committee.

Keeping Track of Auggies

Vickijoan Featured in Poetry Reading on Sunday

Hi Folks! Just a reminder that Vickijoan (the copy lady) will make her debut as a featured poet at the Prism Poetry Series at the Coffee Gallery at Open Book from 1 - 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 27! This is kind of new for me, and I would love your support! I have 20 minutes to do whatever I want, and I have decided to do a variety of short pieces, "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, and Something Blue."

The other featured reader will be Roseroberta Pauling from the College of St. Catherine; I am not sure exactly what we will be reading yet, I just promise it will be eclectic and interesting. Plus, there’s an Open Mic at the end so you can do your stuff too!

Hope you can come! - Vickijoan

July 27, 1 p.m., Coffee Gallery, 1011 S. Washington Ave in the Open Book Center.
