When your books are ready, you will be asked to pick them up and pay for them in room 260. Cash, debit and credit. If you have to pay by cheque, DO NOT PRE-FILL THE AMOUNT. Sometimes the total order cost may vary. The booklists will be available on your portal as of January 13th.  While you are waiting for the MIO telling you your order is ready, you may go to the cafeteria or hang out at the Pyramid but you must be ready to pick up your order immediately when you get the message.

I am a former SLC student now studying at Laval University. Last summer, I lived in Senegal for two months. I met an incredible family, and I am now trying to help people over there. I am thus collecting cans and bottles. I will bring the money with me this summer, as I am returning to Senegal mid-July 2016. All the profits will be donated to the parent association in Lalane-Diassap, a small village of around 370 people, whose goal is to send children to school.
