Pass earns a year’s worth of casual dress days

The campus campaign for United Way has announced an annual pass entitling employees to participate in its Thursday dress-down days for just $50.

The University has approved casual dress days every Thursday through 2014. Individuals can purchase a sticker each week from their canvasser for a $2 donation to the United Way.

“The pass is just $50, and that donation is tax deductible,” says organizer Pat Roberts. “If you participate through the year, the pass saves you more than half the cost, plus the tax deduction—what a deal!”

The passes are available for purchase from Roberts in facility services at 519-253-3000, ext. 2158, or Lynn McLeod in distribution services, ext. 2017.
