April 15 – Pitch in for Campus Clean-up Day!
Sign-in Table Map (PDF)
Date: Friday, April 15, 2011
Time: 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Sign-in Location: the Weidner Memorial Carillon
Organized by: Academic Staff and Classified Staff
Stop by the sign-in station at the Weidner Memorial Carillon where you can pick up garbage bags, rubber gloves, and maps detailing the quadrants that are in need of attention.
- The campus grounds crew is lending us their nifty litter pick-up tools, but there’s a limited supply! Everyone else will simply have to bend.
- If there’s an area of campus that you want to claim in the name of cleanliness, sign-in promptly so you can get your preferred spot!
- A friendly competition: Register for your team and we’ll report how much involvement was from students, faculty, academic staff, and classified staff. Check back here for results.
Special Thanks:
The planning committee extends a special thanks to the University Union and its Phoenix Club for providing soda or water and a small bag of popcorn for participants.
Campus Clean-Up Day 2011
Results:
Despite the wind and colder temps, the Campus Clean-Up Day was a success! A total of 26 participants took in the fresh air and exercise during the mid-day hours:
- 12 Classified Staff (winner with the highest numbers….!!)
- 7 Students (7 members of Circle K Student Org)
- 6 Academic Staff
- 1 Retired Faculty member
Overall, it was a great change to ‘pitch in’. We would also would like to recognize the ‘special finds’ from a few of the participants…
Biggest find, an organ!
- Todd Sanders found a TomTom
- Tina Tackmier and Lisa Tetzloff found an organ
(see photo)
It was too big to put into a trash bag
- Donna Van Straten was the lucky winner finding a $10 bill
Thanks to all. It was a great effort for our campus!
Hi there. This weekend, April 15-17, 2011 is Global Youth Service Day – the largest service event in the world with millions of youth doing service in more than 100 countries. The Mauthe Center has been selected as Lead Agency (one of 75 nationwide) and has mobilized more than 40 organizations in NE Wisconsin to celebrate this weekend through a series of service projects. We will have more than 1,000 young people doing service … SO, when I saw the post about the campus clean-up, I was wondering if you guys wanted to count your project under the umbrella of GYSD. Although the service day is dedicated to the youth, we consider young all those who feel young at heart and would love to partner with anyone who may be interested.
Let me know. As part of this effort, we’d try to get you some GYSD t-shirts and also all of the participants are invited to the free volunteer recognition party on the 17th at 4 pm at the Mauthe Center. Food and live music!
I hope we can make this partnership happen. For more info about GYSD, check out a Perspective Page that was published last Sunday, 4/3 in the GB Press-Gazette on this topic. http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20110403/GPG0101/110404101/Service-day-aims-bring-community-together-while-keeping-tradition-going

Thanks, Adi, for your comment. The Campus Clean-up Day committee welcomes the help of anyone who also supports GYSD events. However, because the event is only 2 days away, we agree it is late to organize a partnership. Thanks again for posting and good luck with GYSD events.
