At the Commuter Council meeting on November 8, we discussed the success of the Pizza with the Provost.
Thanks to all who attended. A decision on what type of balloons to be used for the fund-raiser was finalized. We will
be making the stress balls this week and will be selling them in front of Bruno's. We will need volunteers to help sell
these. If you are interested then call us at the commuter council office. The council decided that we will be giving
away Free Coffee and Cookies on Monday, December 13, during finals week. The times for this event will be
finalized after we place the order with Housing and Food Services. The council is in the process of two service
projects. The first project is Angel Gifts For Kids in which we are sponsoring two children. We are waiting to find
out more information about the children. When we know more, we will be purchasing their Christmas gifts. If you
are interested in participating in this project please call the Commuter Council office. The second project is Com
muter Council's 2nd Annual Wish-A-Thon. We still need to contact The Make-A-Wish Foundation so we can get a
child to sponsor. Karl will be meeting with Stacey McCoy to learn how the funding can and will be used. The date
and time for this 12 hour dance-a-thon is April 14, 2000 from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. The Commuter Council is very
excited about the Wish-A-Thon. We will need volunteers to help us plan and work this event. If any student or
student organization would like to help, then stop by the Commuter Council office or call us at 898-6452.
The Commuter Corner is written weekly by a member of the Commuter Council. The Commuter Council
office is located in the Reed Building, and meetings are held every Monday at 1 p.m. in Reed 112. To
