Announcement: C-Board Announces Operation Turkey 2009

C-Board announces the beginning of Operation Turkey 2009, a
campus-wide fundraiser to help provide Thanksgiving meals for local
families in need.

All funds raised will be donated to the Child Development Support
Corporation (CDSC) food pantry on Classon Avenue for their annual
Thanksgiving food package distribution. Last year, Pratt students raised
over $655, which helped feed 55 families in the local neighborhood.

For more information on any of the Operation Turkey projects, email
cboard@pratt.edu.

Operation Turkey 2009 Activities:

1. Greek & Res Life Penny Wars

C-Board and Greek Life members will be collecting spare change until
November 11th outside the cafeteria. Donations can be placed into
various water jugs representing individual Greek Life organizations and
Residence Halls.

2. Operation Turkey Raffle

Starting Friday, October 30, individuals can also purchase raffle
tickets at the Operation Turkey table. Prizes include pads of Bristol,
hard pastels, char-kole, a large moleskine sketchbook, colored pencils,
and free movie tickets. Raffle tickets are $1 for 1 ticket or $5 for 6
tickets. Raffle ticket sales end November 11.

3. Program Board Presents: Mystic Turkey

On Wednesday, November 11 Program Board will be hosting a fundraising
event in the Student Union called "Mystic Turkey" from 7-9pm in the
Student Union. We will have a tarot card reader, palm reader, and henna
available for attendees.

You can pay as much as you'd like to enter the event (or even pay
nothing at all!). We will also accept canned food donations which will
be donated to the CDSC food pantry. Although donations are not required,
they are highly recommended and appreciated.

4. Res Life Non-Perishable Food Drive

Starting Monday, November 2nd, residence hall residents can donate
canned goods and non-perishable foods to their RAs or Residence Hall
offices. Each donated food item will go towards reducing any CAD (Common
Area Damage) fees for the donor's floor. The food drive will end on
Friday, November 20 and all donations will be given to the pantry.

5. CDSC Thanksgiving Food Package Distribution

Pratt students can help distribute all the food purchased by the
fundraising efforts of Operation Turkey. The food distribution will be
on Monday, November 23rd from 10:30am-4pm. If you are interested in
volunteering, even for part of the time, please email cboard@pratt.edu.
