We are looking forward to seeing everyone’s smiling faces this Friday morning, December 15, for our annual Holiday Breakfast in the Ford Fieldhouse. Doors open at 7:30 a.m. and don’t forget to wear your ugliest sweater!

As a reminder, donations are being accepted at the door to support our snack pantry. Specific items requested are individual-size oatmeal, chips, and fruit cups, but you are welcome to bring any snack items you’d like!

Toys for Tots is also being hosted by our Exercise Science Club. We’d be happy to accept any new, unwrapped toys as well!

See you there!
