Livingston CARES would like to invite you to attend an interest meeting on Wednesday, October 17 at 6:30pm in College Union room 322/23.

StudentsCARE is a new group that we are forming this year whose purpose is to focus student efforts on campus and in the community on behalf of Livingston CARES. However, we welcome and encourage involvement with faculty and staff and members of the community. We will discuss and organize fundraisers and advertise for Livingston CARES.
