The Buddy System

Looking for students and faculty to join other volunteers in Knox County for a "neighborhood watch" for the tough Maine winter months. As a volunteer, you will be assigned some people to call. You will not be expected to do whatever your neighbor needs doing, but rather to report that something needs to be done.  Join us and be a "buddy".  Training will be provided at URock.  Sign up at the URock front desk. 

Last Call on Papers from Spring & Summer 2009

November 30th is our date to discard unclaimed student work.  Please stop by the front office to avoid losing something you may need later!
