4th of July Event Changes for 2009
Due to budget constraints, President Edna decided it would be fiscally responsible and prudent to reduce the expenses and employee hours of set up and event staffing related to the annual 4th of July celebration held on the campus of MSU Moorhead this summer. Therefore no midday events will be held.
The 10K Run and evening events will be held, but will use no University operating dollars. 2009 sponsorships and reserves from the 2008 event will be used. There will be some volunteer hours available prior to the event, and perhaps some in the evening as well. Please see the Website for more information: www.mnstate.edu/july4
