Hey Mystics! Welcome to February! With Reading Week it’ll be a short month but we have lots of great stuff planned for you in these 3 weeks! First off, the #LoveIsLove campaign will be running from February 3 until the 14th! We’ll be having photobooths set up all during this campaign so don’t worry if you haven’t had a chance to participate yet! If you want to check out the campaign, go to www.loveislove.ca, visit us on facebook at fb.com/teamloveislove, or send us a tweet at @TeamLoveIsLove! Join us, and help to spread the love! Make sure to check out Residence Society’s Charity Ball: A Night Under the Lights, this Saturday, February 8th, at 9pm. Tickets are $10 if bought in advanced, or $15 at the door, so make sure to buy your ticket soon! All proceeds from Charity Ball will go towards the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) Shine A Light campaign. This campaign aims to support refugee girls’ education, by providing the tools they need to learn, to strive, and to succeed. Every $10 donated will enable one more girl to access solar-powered light. Very great event and the society has put lots of work into it so make sure to come on out!
