To raise money from our readers, we wrap each copy of the spring anthology in a promotional band and attach a donation envelope. With over 10,000 papers to band, we need volunteer help!
Each spring, we publish two special editions of the newspaper we call our Spring Anthology, a collection of the most important and impactful stories we've published in the last twelve months. To raise money from our readers, we wrap each copy of the spring anthology in a promotional band and attach a donation envelope. With over 10,000 papers to band, we need volunteer help! Volunteers will fold a printed strip of paper around each newspaper and tape it in place. A donation envelope is folded and slid beneath the band. So basically, a whole lotta folding, taping, and having a darn good time together while doing it!
Bring your sweet self! That's all. Maybe something to drink and something to munch on if you're the snacky type.
Papercuts are possible.
