Update, February 9: SLU had 92 members in its group, Clarkson had 61, and the Potsdam Humane Society moved from #16 to #13 on the ZooToo site!

It's a St. Lawrence -- Clarkson week, with five basketball or hockey games, and Circle K (the Kiwanis Club's collegiate organization) invites you to work overtime with us!

In addition to supporting the Saints at home and in Potsdam, you can raise awareness of our local Potsdam Humane Society. Help them earn enough points to be among the top 20 finalists in the Zootoo Makeover Challenge - a chance to for our local area shelter to win up to $1,000,000 for improvements and pet-adoption placement services.

Clarkson President Tony Collins and St. Lawrence President Daniel Sullivan have issued a challenge to see which school can get the most registered supporters for the Potsdam Humane Society during this five-game week through 10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7.

Go to the ZooToo makeover site, register your log-in for the Potsdam Humane Society and join the St. Lawrence University Groups on the site to be counted.

You can register any time this week from any computer, or at stations in Cheel if you plan to visit Clarkson this week. If you do visit Clarkson, you can get one free raffle ticket, plus buy more tickets for cool stuff from local businesses supporting the Humane Society, have a chance to win all kinds of prizes, the $50 shoot-to-score, $200 money-grab, plus free popcorn and soda for the first 500 students!

Check the Saints schedule for game times, wear the Scarlet and Brown, and show your support for the Potsdam Humane Society!
