UGA weekend includes Bot Garden groundbreaking, Dawg Day of Service

Today is a groundbreaking day in Athens: a 10 o'clock ceremony marks the start of work on a new Center for Art and Nature at the State Botanical Garden on South Milledge Avenue. 

The University of Georgia's University Curriculum Committee holds its first meeting of the new fall semester: it's set for 3:30 at New College on Herty Drive in Athens. 

It is billed as the University of Georgia's largest annual day of community service: this year's Dawg Day of Service is set for Saturday, with volunteers gathering at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning at UGA's Tate Student Center.
