Resource Day

SMCU and Reel Grrls are offering you a day to help you film, photograph, and upload your creative submission for the Cooperative Spirit Awards!

On Saturday, November 7th, you can bring your crafty sculpture, poem, painting, or friends ready to sing a song or perform a short skit about how you COME TOGETHER and SHARE A RESOURCE. Reel Grrls and SMCU will photograph or film your project and upload it for you! It couldn’t be easier!

We are offering two resource sessions, one from 9am – 1pm and another from 1pm – 5pm. You will be given approximately 15 minutes to present your creative project so please come ready to film or present at any time during the session for which you register. Multiple groups share this time slot, so it is better to come earlier than later, to ensure that your project is completed before your scheduled time is up. Groups sharing time slots will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.

Saturday | November 7 | 9:00a – 5:00p
