Clothing Swap
1pm @
Muncie Liberation Studio
Next to Chavas and China Express
1809 W University Avenue
Bring clothes you don’t wear/want and swap for clothes you do want! If you wouldn’t give your clothes to a friend, don’t give it to us! This means bringing new or gently used clothing which is free of stains, smells, and holes. All clothes left behind will be donated to the Ross Community Center and the YWCA. Everyone deserves access to stylish and clean clothing.
As the drive for profit continues to swallow up industries which produce our clothing and linens, unsustainably extracting raw materials to produce these goods and relying on low-cost or slave labor to maximize profits and deceptively lower prices for consumers like u and I, it is up to us, the people, to create and develop alternative systems which reorganize our resources to better meet our own needs. This clothing swap represents a microcosm of this necessary system.
- The Neighborhood Free Share 2pm to 5pm @ Normal Neighborhood 1307 W Jackson St.
The Neighborhood Free Share is identical to The RRFM. Bring stuff that you no longer need and take stuff that you do: Everything is 100% free. No money, No barter, No trade. Think of a giant community potluck but for clothes, books, household items, small electronic, toys, art supplies, snacks, and skills. Please, no large furniture. Street Parking is on South Graceland Avenue and nearby neighborhood. Follow @ReallyFreeMuncie on Instagram for more info and updates.

- What do voters think of Delaware County's new vote centers 7pm to 8pm @ Muncie Central High School Auditorium 801 N. Walnut St., Muncie, IN
What voters think about Delaware County’s new vote centers, used for the first time for the May primary, will be shared at a free public forum at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5, in the Muncie Central High School auditorium.
Monday, Oct. 5, also is the last day to register to vote. Citizens are encouraged to register to vote if they are not already registered, and citizens who believe they are registered to vote should double-check to make sure they are still registered. Citizens can register to vote or check their registration at VOTE411.org.
The public forum is being organized by VSTOP, which was responsible for conducting the exit poll survey about vote centers, in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Muncie-Delaware County and the Delaware County clerk’s office. Survey results from the May primary will be shared.
Organizers plan to survey Delaware County voters again during the general election in November as they exit the vote centers. They want to compare feedback and assess whether residents view vote centers as more convenient than the precinct-based model previously used in the county.
With vote centers, voters can vote at any of Delaware County’s 26 vote centers. Voters are no longer assigned a specific precinct polling place to vote.
Indiana counties have been permitted to adopt vote centers since 2006. Seventy-two of Indiana’s 92 counties use vote centers.

Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the fan-favorite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.
