Fleece blanket drive
Ferris’ Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) is hosting their annual fleece blanket drive to support underprivileged children in Mecosta County. The organization is working with Angels of Action to provide warm blankets to children and families during the cold winter weather. Registered student organizations (RSOs), classes, teams and individuals are encouraged to make a $15 donation that will be directly spent on supplies. Cash or check donations can be dropped off in PRSSA’s mailbox in the Center for Leadership, Activities, and Career Services (CLACS) office from Thursday, Oct. 6, through Friday, Nov. 4.

This event will be taking place near the fireplace downstairs in the University Center Friday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m.
