THANKSGIVING BREAK
Giving Tree in the MCC
This is the season of giving. If you would like to help a family
in need, this is a great and anonymous way to do so. There will be
a “Giving Tree” set up in the Multicultural Center for the month of
No-vember. The process is simple. Stop by the Center, pick an
orna-ment off the Giving Tree, and read the Christmas wish of a
needy family member. Once you have purchased the gift and wrapped
it, return it to the Multicultural Center and we will make sure the
family in need receives your generous gift. Ornaments will be
provided by the Bursar’s Office.
