Bakeoff benefits United Way
The competition was fierce — but ultimately sweet — at the United Way Bakeoff on Thursday.
Congratulations to our bakeoff winner Laura Caulk! The voters agreed that her cupcakes looked and tasted amazing.
The gift card drawing goes to the person who holds ticket number 471337! Contact Julie Otte if you are the lucky winner.
This very successful event raised $423.00 and would not have been possible without support from across campus. First, the amazing bakers of GRCC who shared their treats with us, and those who made time in their busy day to vote and bid on the many delicious creations. Thank you also to the efficient and ever helpful team from creative dinning services who set the stage for the event and provided invaluable support. Last but not least, thank you to Julie Otte and her bakeoff support team Bethany Tuffelmire, Kristen Doneth and Malinda Powers for holding the event.
Condolences to Paula Naujalis, family
We extend condolences to Paula Naujalis and her family upon the death Tuesday of her husband, Tony. Paula retired at the end of last year after more than 30 years of service to GRCC. She and her family will meet friends from 2-7 p.m. November 20 at Westview Christian Reformed Church, 2929 Leonard St. NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504.

Students learn about Study Away program
The Department of Experiential Learning hosted in a information session on the Study Away program this week:
Join mathematics in creating care packages
Jean Dauber’s three math classes (2 sections of MA 098, and 1 section of MA 107) have put the finishing touches on homeless care packages this week. The excitement and participation has been overwhelming – and a few students got their entire family involved. They brought in items such as warm socks, hats, mittens, hand warmers, toothbrushes, tissues and wipes, and many different health and beauty aides. Plus nonperishable food items, like applesauce, trail mix, raisins, beef sticks, pudding cups, and individually wrapped cookie and cracker packages.
Jean’s students were joined by the math department faculty who also donated funds which will be used to purchase $2 gift vouchers at Degage for a meal, laundry, a haircut, a locker, etc.
If you would like to contribute to the care packages please email Jean at Jdauber@grcc.edu before the end of this week.
I would like to encourage my colleagues to present a similar project to your classes, one that will bond you together, create awareness and give students an opportunity to serve our community. It was fairly easy to organize, and it has been a blessing to be a part of.

APSS emails
Since the ESP group has been renamed to APSS (Alliance of Professional Support Staff), there has been some confusion in regards to our group email address. Any communications that should be sent to all support professionals in the APSS group should be sent to APSS (found in your Novell Address Book).
Apologies for any confusion that this has created. We hope this clears up any issues in the future!
