- April 22, 2007: Trip to Farm Animal Sanctuary: Take some time out from studying and visit a farm animal sanctuary! Maple Farm Animal Sanctuary used to be an actual farm, but one day the owners decided to turn their lives around and stop using animals for food. Instead, they created a sanctuary for farm animals who have been neglected or abused. At the sanctuary, the animals can live out their lives in peace and happiness. SALDF is going to take a tour, feed the animals, and help out for a while on April 22. Get out of the library! Come spend an afternoon outside in some spring weather! Transportation will be arranged for you. We'll also be bringing apples and carrots to feed the animals. View photos of the event.

Take a 15 minute break from finals and top by the Hark Patio to see for yourself, next Thursday night 6:30-8:30.
