Service Point Opportunity

Hi everyone!

We have a great opportunity coming up soon for you to earn your service point for the semester! Dr. Landin is looking for volunteers for Darwin Day:

Recruiting volunteers for Darwin Day

We're hosting two Darwin Day events this year - one here on campus and one at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.

The Campus Darwin Day event is on Thursday, Feb. 12 3:00-4:30pm. This event includes Evolution cookies and birthday cake, photo op.s, evolution trivia, games and prizes. (And if you have any creative/artistic skills, I'm collecting for the Donations table!)

The Museum Darwin Day event is all day Saturday, Feb. 14 (3 hour shifts). We'll have a table where the new Coloration Mutation Station will be unveiled (it involves a Plinko game, so we'll hopefully garner a lot of interest).

All volunteers and donors will receive a small "thank you" gift after the big day.

If you're interested in volunteering for either of these events (or their preparations), please contact Jennifer Landin (jmlandin@ncsu.edu). Thank you!

If you are interested in volunteering for either of these events (or their preparations) please contact Jennifer Landin (jmlandin@ncsu.edu). You can participate on either day or for both if you would like!

Please send a blind copy to the biology club email address (ncsubiologyclub@gmail.com) to get your service point!

We hope you take advantage of this wonderful opportunity!
