Bring a friend (or two!) and join us for our sixth annual Plant-A-Palooza!
You can plant a succulent and take it home. You can also decorate the pot!
The plant-your-own succulent event is Tuesday (June 7) at 1 p.m. on Walker Lawn. We will be featuring a huge variety of succulents to choose from! Plants, dirt and pots will be provided while supplies last.
If it rains Tuesday, we will relocate to the MUB Commons.
Doing anything tonight?
If not, you can come join our softball clinic. Open to everyone, if you are new to softball, GSG is organizing a pre-league workshop today (June 2) from 5-7 p.m. to get everybody comfortable with the rules and regulations, as well as help get a little practice in before we start. If you don’t have a team or if your team still needs some extra players, this would be the perfect opportunity to join one or recruit!
Looking forward to seeing you at the diamond!
