The drag show is the group’s largest fundraiser and will be March 1 at 7 p.m. in the large ballroom in the Curris Center. Admission is $5 for students and $7 for the public.
Alliance president Will Heath said the group is planning for speakers from Public Safety and other members in the community to come and talk to the group during general assembly meetings.
Heath said the group is also participating in a work days on March 3 and April 7 where they clean streets in Calloway County. Each member participating will earn $6 a person an hour. The money will help the Alliance pay for various activities they put on throughout the semester.
