WSU Tabling event @ Terrell Mall, WSU
Apr 17 @ 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Note from Brian Koepke:
“We have a conflicting event on the Terrell Mall on April 18th that will distract from what we are all trying to do, so the ASWSU Environmental Task Force and WSU Environmental Science Club would like to invite you to come on Wednesday, April 17th from 9am-3pm (any time you have available during this period would be great). I am truly sorry about the change of plans, but I hope the organizations that have already confirmed: PESC, WIRT, Palouse Transition, PPF, and the Latah Trail Foundation, can still participate in our community tabling event and, maybe, this makes it possible for other environmentally conscious groups to come. We have other WSU groups that will be out there as well.”
