Employee's daughter designs Earth Day poster
Earth Day festivities set for April 27
MARCH 20, 2007 --Mary Catherine Schaaf, daughter of antepartum nurse Cynthia Schaaf, completed the winning entry for this year’s Earth Day art contest. As reward, Mary Catherine’s artwork will be featured on the annual Earth Day poster, as well as t-shirts and other items.
Each year, the UTMB Earth Day committee sponsors the contest to encourage area youth to be involved in the event. This year, the committee opened the contest to junior high and middle school students. Mary Catherine is a student at Weiss Middle School in Galveston.
She and her classmates also are invited to attend the Earth Day celebration, which is set for April 27 on the Moody Medical Library Plaza. This year’s festivities will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will feature the traditional no-waste lunch as well as tree and plant giveaways, the UTMB swap shop and plenty of other earth-friendly activities.
Volunteers will be needed, so watch your Daily Announcements for information about volunteering for this year’s Earth Day, and for more information and details as the final preparations are made.
