"Adopt An AngeC

"Adopt an Angel", is an opportunity for you to help a less fortunate child during the holiday season.

From now until Dec. 2nd you may adopt one of these children from the tree in the lobby of the CUB.

Once you have selected a child from the tree take it to Rm'. 207 or 212 of the CUB and register your "Angel".

On the front of the "Angel" you took from the tree are 3 wishes from the child. Please select one or more of these wishes and stay under the $50 max. limit.

You must then attend the PARTY held for the "Angels", on Dec. 9th from 7-9pm in the STETSON ROOM. Your child will be there and will be expecting you. Santa will also be there for everyone's enjoyment.

Organizations may also participate but please limit your attendance to less than 5 members.
