Paint the Paws Nov. 6

MACOMB, IL – -- Western Illinois University's Student Alumni Association (SAA) will stage its annual Paint the Paws event Friday, Nov. 6. (The event, during which WIU students, alumni, faculty and staff help to repaint the Leathernecks' Paws along University Drive and Western Avenue, had to be canceled prior to Homecoming in October due to inclement weather.)



On Nov. 6, SAA will host two Paint the Paws shifts, the first one beginning at 1 p.m. and the second one beginning at 2:30 p.m. From noon–2:30 p.m., all participants are welcome to eat the complimentary lunch that will be served on Western Hall's lawn.

Painters should check-in at Western Hall prior to their shifts; SAA will provide supplies to all attendees and groups. Each student group will be paired with an alumni group or a participating office on campus.

For more information, contact WIU's Alumni Association at (309) 298-1914 or A-Association@wiu.edu.
