Winter '10 Volunteer Meet & Greet!

January 14th, 2010

It’s a new term, and that means new opportunities to volunteer with GLOW! Whether you just want to learn about the opportunities available and how to get involved, want to help out with events, or want to work at the executive level, you can find it all out at our Winter ’10 Volunteer Meet and Greet!

It’s happening on Tuesday, January 19, from 5:00pm-7:00pm in PAS 3005 lounge.

There will be food (read: p-i-z-z-a) and other tasty munchables and drinks, and it’s basically a great time to meet other volunteers like yourself and just hang out! It is a drop-in type of event, so if you have class until 5:30pm, no worries! Just stop by when you can!


Welcome to Winter '10

January 6th, 2010

It’s a new year, a term, and GLOW is entering its 5th decade! As usual, things will be a bit slow this first week as classes begin and volunteers get sorted, but bear with us and check back soon for brand new shiny upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and updated office and phoneline hours!

December Office Hours

December 9th, 2009

As of the end of classes, GLOW’s office/community centre will no longer be open during regularly scheduled office hours, since volunteers are no longer required to hold their office hours during the final exam period. The office may be open periodically during December, and will reopen with new operating hours in January.

Phoneline hours should remain active as posted.

Any requests, questions, comments, etc during the month of December can be sent to the GLOW email; see the Contact page at left for more options. Good luck with exams, have a great holiday, and we’ll see you all in the new year!
