If you were on campus last week, you may have seen lots of students carrying around large orange  RISD laundry bags.  They were a little welcome gift from the RISD Alumni Association, handed out at the block party by a group of alumni volunteers (see the photo above of Robyn Ericcson BArch ‘87). Marika Cowan, an incoming freshman, won the raffle prize: a semesters free laundry, donated by E and R Cleaners.

 Many thanks to volunteers  Mary MacDonald IA ‘76, Suzanne Mancini AP ‘82(and kids!), and Alyssa Short MAE ‘04 who also helped distribute the laundry bags - it couldn’t happen without you!
