If you see students promoting “Shanty Town 2009” over the next week or two, consider lending your support. They’re raising money and awareness to help the homeless. A centerpiece event will be Friday-Saturday, April 24-25, at the basketball courts near the Hendrickson Community Center at Residence Life. Participants will be constructing “shanties” out of cardboard and duct tape and sleeping in them overnight. Dinner is at 6:30 Friday night with a guest speaker at 7 p.m. The fee is $6 per individual, $10 for a team of two to four, and $15 for a group of five or more. The student Habitat for Humanity chapter invites all members of the campus community to support this activity and their drive to raise as much as $12,500 to sponsor a house build in the Green Bay area next year. A contact for more info is Cassie Johnson, chapter president, at JohnCJ30@uwgb.edu
