Greeks Sponsor Clothing Drive on Feb. 27

The Greek com­mu­nity at UNM has cho­sen the Bernalillo County Coun­cil of the PTA as its phil­an­thropy this year. As part of Greek Week activ­i­ties, the Greeks are spon­sor­ing a cloth­ing drive on Feb. 27, in the UNM Stu­dent Union Build­ing between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The UNM com­mu­nity is encour­aged to contribute.

Bernalillo County Coun­cil of the PTA (BCCPTA) is an Albu­querque Pub­lic Schools cloth­ing bank that depends solely on donations. The cloth­ing bank pro­vides more than 2,800 stu­dents in need with cloth­ing and toi­letries each year.

In addi­tion, all funds raised from the Greek Sing tal­ent show on Mon­day, Feb. 27 at 6 p.m. in the SUB ball­rooms will be donated to the BCCPTA.  Cost at the door is $5.

Greeks will also spend Sat­ur­day, Feb. 25 clean­ing the Albu­querque Bio-Park as they pre­pare for the spring sea­son.  About 600 stu­dents are expected to participate.
