Start Spreading the News!
MVUU has a big, beautiful bulletin board ready to go in the Oasis Room. We invite all MVUU groups to prepare information for posting on our bulletin board. We want to share the many opportunities available to everyone who comes through our doors – and who may or may not yet be on our newsletter mailing list.
The rules are simple:
- Flyers or posters must not be larger than 8-1/2 x 11” – we encourage you to be a creative as you like to draw attention to your group.
-
Contact the Bulletin Board Team (Email Kaaren Boothroyd) to let us know you have a flyer to post and then drop it off at MVUU in the “Bulletin Board Team” mailbox just outside Erin’s office.
- If you have any questions on content or process, please let us know.
