FUNDRAISERS

EASTER CANDY SALES - SSU'S men's Soccer team is holding an Easter Candy Sales campaign to raise money for a trip to Europe this summer. Last week the players delivered brochures and order forms to every faculty and staff member on campus. Orders must be returned by March 29 and the candy will be delivered the week before Easter. "This is a great fundraiser, because people are going to buy candy for Easter, "said Coach Marcus Ziemer, "they can have the candy delivered to their desk and support the men's soccer program at the same time." For further information, send an email to Ziemer at soccer@sonoma.edu or phone 4-2614.
