Well, my fellow Wooster peers, it has been a good run indeed.† But, it is that time again; that time of year where the grass gets greener, the weather grows warmer and most agreeable, and Wooster becomes its lovely old self again.
Oh, and we move out. Yes folks, the dreaded day of boxing up our belongings is upon us, but there is hope: COWabunga will be returning this year.
For those who are unaware, or who do not remember from last year, COWabunga is the College’s move-out donation program, helping dispose of unwanted clothing, furnishings and all the sorts of stuff that may be sequestered somewhere in our residence halls.
Rather than throwing your unwanted possessions in the garbage or abandoning them in your hall, you can donate these items to the charitable organization Goodwill through COWabunga.
Acceptable items are textiles (bedsheets, clothes, towels, etc.), books (including textbooks), office/school supplies, appliances and furniture.† Put on your thinking cap before donating, though: gently used items are useful; broken ones are not.
COWabunga collection areas and donation bins will not only be in each of the residence halls but also outside the Kennedy Apt.’s and on College Avenue.† Just keep your eyes open and you will surely stumble across one nearby your place of residence, or simply ask your RA.† COWabunga bins will be placed on campus this Sunday and Monday, and will be emptied almost daily.† So, kind and gentle folk of Wooster, please donate; by doing so, you will lightening your own load, making a worthy contribution to a charity active in the Wooster community and sparing the environment from unnecessary waste, all in one fell swoop.
