Friendly Reminders
The First 49 is working with the UNC Charlotte Alumni Association and will be collecting school supplies at the Normbulance’s tailgate this Saturday. Due to expansion efforts, the tailgate location has changed. We will be anchored beside the PORTAL building, in a lot opposite of Grigg Hall.
