SUMMARY:Founders' Day
DESCRIPTION:Founders’ Day began in 1891 and was created as a celebration of Jesse Mercer’s birthday.

SUMMARY:Harvest Fest
DESCRIPTION:This year\, Harvest Fest will be on Wednesday\, October 26th from 5:30pm to 7pm in Greek Village. Please plan to start setting up at 4:30pm ensuring that you are ready by 5:30pm. Also make sure that you clean up after the event is ended. \nHarvest Fest is an event hosted by Mercer Panhellenic for Macon elementary students and their families to visit Mercer for an afternoon of crafts and fun. Organizations are invited to set up a table with a craft or some other activity for the kids. If you are interested in participating\, register through this link by Wednesday\, October 19 at 11:59pm. Panhellenic Community Service will be in contact with you about which of your craft or activity ideas can be used during the event. To create a dynamic event\, some organizations may not host their first choice of activity. \nLastly\, because the event is so close to Halloween\, there has been a tradition of serving individually packaged candy at each table. While this is not required\, it certainly makes the event especially memorable for the kids. If you choose to provide candy\, please make sure that there is something for everyone and is allergy-friendly. Let us know if you need any assistance providing candy or an activity for your table. In addition\, have your member dress in a costume or wear a shirt of your organization at the event. \nPlease contact us if you have any questions at mupancommunityservice@gmail.com
