LessFest '09

Friday, October 16

Crim Dell Meadow

9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

International Justice Mission is hosting the second annual Less Fest all day Friday, October 16, in the Crim Dell Meadow to celebrate simple living and give members of the campus community an opportunity to share some of our excess with those in need. All next week, when we first get back from Fall Break, students, staff, faculty, and community members will be able to drop off clothing donations in boxes in most residence halls, the Sadler Center, the Campus Center and other spots around campus.

Then, Friday, October 16, IJM will bring all the donated clothing to the Crim Dell Meadow in order to show (1) how much excess our community possesses and (2) the redistributive power we can achieve when we unite as a community. We'd appreciate your support of the clothing drive and event, so be looking through your closets now and over Fall Break! The clothes will be donated to local non-profits and sent to the Philippines in the wake of their recent natural disaster. We hope that this will be a starting point toward greater simplicity in our lives and on our campus. Questions? Contact Kristen Marshall at kemars@wm.edu .
