Bulletin board

New $20 bills
The UGACard bill acceptors are not designed to accept the new U.S. $20 bills, released earlier this month. The manufacturer of the equipment is producing new chips for the 30 machines on campus, and they will be installed by mid-November. Until then the new bills cannot be used. The UGACard office may be reached at 542-8074.

University Optimist Club
The University Optimist Club of Athens invites faculty, staff, students and friends of the university to join in their youth and community service programs. The club currently sponsors the Reading Buddy program at Fourth Street Elementary School, the Gateway to Careers program at Clarke Central High School, the Athens Oratorical Contest for youths ages 16 and younger, the Eugene Odum Environmental Grants project organized by GreenFest, the UGA Police Officer of the Year Award and many other projects. The club meets over lunch on the first and third Wednesdays of each month in room 227 of Memorial Hall. For more information, contact Norma Reed (769-0303, givelife@charter.net) or Mel Hill (583-0048, mbhill@uga.edu).
