Hello South Hall!
Take a break from studying to celebrate diversity! The South Hall and Ivory RACs are teaming up to bring you International Night. A variety of food will be served in the South Hall community room from 7-8 pm on December 8th. Afterward, there will be a showing of "Shaolin Soccer," a movie about kung-fu masters who form a soccer team. The showing will start at 8:30 in Ivory's tv room and snacks will be provided.
If you already have dinner plans, join us the following afternoon at 3 pm in the community room to help finish up the work for Adopt A Family. This holiday program allows poor families to celebrate the holidays with gifts - a luxury that they could not afford on their own. Four of the six people we have adopted are age 7 or younger. What were your holidays like at that age? You've seen us collecting donations; come see what we've done with the money. Help us wrap the gifts and eat some cookies!
