Buttons, Buttons, Who Has the Buttons?
We do! Our friends at Citizen’s Bank have come through to provide 200 buttons for each Penn State game so that we can continue our stadium Welcome Booth game day button give-away.

In exchange, we have agreed to collect unexpired, non-perishable food items at each Happy Hour in the fall. The food items will help Citizen’s Bank’s commitment to the State College Food Bank.

Please plan to attend and bring some food items to our October Happy Hour at The Penn Stater on Thursday, 10/18 from 5 to 7 pm.

Also, if you are interested in volunteering at the Welcome Booth on game day or would like more information, please contact Grace Long at gel907@psu.edu.

And, when you stop in at the bank, thank them for their support!
