To help out those in need, we are participating in the Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services Center’s SPIRIT OF GIVING DRIVE! Give to others just in time for the Sacramento Food Bank’s annual Turkey Distribution Day in late November, which feeds over 6,000 people each year.  Please help us out by donating any non-perishable items you can spare (canned foods, etc.), and new or slightly used clothing. Anything helps! For information, please contact Andrew Schmidt at a_schmidt3@u.pacific.edu.

 CANCELLED– Friendsgiving Co-Sponsored by McGeorge Women’s Caucus and PAD 

Due to very few RSVPs for Friendsgiving, we’re going to cancel the dinner. We will definitely make up for this social outing on another occasion! I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy time off before finals.
