October 21 Kent Campus Yard Sale raises $668 in profit this week, with some additional money coming in that should bring it to $700. This was such a win/win situation … people got rid of their clutter, other people picked up special treasures, and we had some fun in the midst! Thanks to all of you who donated items for this sale. You made a difference!
October 17 Martin Center and Open Campus reach UCC campaign goals! It’s a beautiful Monday — not only because of the wonderful weather — but because we can celebrate two groups who have gone above and beyond in our United Communities Campaign. Please help me congratulate the chairs of MCCS and Open Campus — Larry Snell, Dr. Kimberly Hardy and Kathy Clower — on meeting their campaign goals after only two weeks!

As they still have some spectacular events planned, we know that their teams will continue to contribute to the campaign. Congratulations to these leaders!

September 26 Adopt a Pet Bank Chick“Adopt a Pet” Bank: The North Campus business office (BAO) is getting a jump start on the campus UCC by asking each department to host an “Adopt a Pet” bank.

We are asking for a volunteer from each department to be a “foster parent” to a pet bank. Please remember to feed your foster pet. These pets thrive on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters and are particularly partial to Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea dollars. A word of caution — due to the “leash law” for pets, we ask that your pet is kept in a fenced area or on a leash at all times.

At the end of the UCC, you may return your well fed pet to the BAO. The department that has the “heaviest” pet will receive a homemade “Never Fail Chocolate” Cake.

To get the pick of the litter, hurry on down to the BAO and select a pet. Adopt a pet bank, make a difference.

September 26 North Campus Low Country Boil: Corn on the cob, shrimp and sausage and potatoes, $5 per meal, Wednesday, September 28, 10 a.m.-noon, in front of the business office. Call x6656 to reserve your order!
September 16 Buy a Cookbook and Support UCC! B.J. Hausman, a member of last year’s North Campus United Communities Campaign team, spent endless hours gathering of recipes from employees for a cookbook. They have arrived, but sales are very slow despite how great they are! B.J. is selling these for $12.50 and all proceeds will go toward our UCC. If you’d like a wonderful collection of yummy recipes, you can contact B.J. at x6762. Get a flyer!
