Midnight Breakfast

Published by Laura Thomson on April 30, 2009 in General News. 0 Comments

Midnight breakfast will take place this coming Tuesday, May 5 from 10 pm – 12 pm in Gries.

They’re looking for volunteers if you’re interested.  There are two shifts: one from 9:30 pm to 11:00 pm (9:30 is a half hour before for preparation) and shift two from 11:00 pm to 12:30 am (a half hour after for clean up). For volunteers, bring a hat, closed-toe shoes and long pants. Volunteers will be serving food.

For the actual event, it is basically a free breakfast between 10pm and 12am on May 5. It’s pretty crazy; they had a little over 1000 people during the fall breakfast. Make a night out of it and start studying in our fancy new 24 hour library!
