This semester, the Collegiate Merchandising Association has been working hard to raise money for Capitol Ark Animal Shelter here in Tallahassee. We are currently preparing for what will be one of our biggest and most exciting fundraiser ever.

On Wednesday March 31st and Thursday April 1st, CMA will be hosting Rent a Puppy from  10am to 3pm on Landis Green. We will be renting puppies out to anyone who has a valid drivers license or an FSU ID. This event is perfect for anyone who is stuck living in a house, apartment or dorm that doesn’t allow pets. Pay only $3 for 15 minutes or $5 for 30 minutes and you can play with a puppy of your very own. The best part? You don’t have to worry about feeding it or taking care of it. Just give it back to us after the time is up and we will take care of all of that for you.

We will also be collecting cereal boxes during the meeting to be used in the Spring Fashion Show. If you have any, please bring them. You will receive 1 point per box.

If you can’t make it to tomorrow’s meeting, I hope that you will join us in the Union during Market Wednesdays for the release of Clutch magazine’s Spring 2010 issue. Also, the Clutch release party is this Thursday March 4th at Rayn at 8pm. The first 30 guests receive VIP gift bags. There will also be a Clutch reader giveaway for a one-of-a-kind necklace courtesy of Ashaloo. Cocktail attire is preferred.

If you went to the VS Pink Invades Sunberry event on Tuesday, you should have received a flyer for the campus tour with a coupon for a limited edition spring break tank. With this coupon, any pink nation member can purchase this limited edition tank for only $5 with any purchase.

Henri Girl Boutique in Tallahassee is having a HUGE blowout sale this weekend in order to make room for their spring merchandise. Starting Thursday February 25th at 10am, everything in the store will be 50-70% off! When I sent to the blowout sale last year, I got jeans for only $17 dollars and I absolutely love them! It is definitely a sale worth checking out but come ASAP in order for the best selection. Sale ends on Saturday with new spring merchandise available in stores on March 1st.

All sales are final and Henri Girl Boutique requests that you leave your handbags at home!

Located at: 2020 West Pensacola Street in Tallahassee

Clutch Magazine is a student run fashion magazine that was started back in the Fall of 2006 by Alexandra Kolbe. Since then, the publication has continued to grow. The magazine is published semiannually: once during the spring and once during the fall. Clutch Magazine and members of the Collegiate Merchandising Association are currently preparing for the release of the Spring 2010 issue which went to print earlier today.

The next issue will be released in the Oglesby Union on March 3rd during Market Wednesdays. Stop by CMA’s table to pick up a copy. You can also go to the Clutch Release Party at Club Rayn on March 4th at 8pm. The first 30 guests will receive a free goodie bag. There will also be giveaway to one lucky Clutch reader for a one-of-a-kind necklace made by Asha Midalli. This is a great way to meet the girls who made this issue happen as well as find out how you can get involved in future issues!
