SHARE, NEEDY STUDENT HAMPER PROJECT
Now is the time of year when a very worthy cause seems to have its hand
outstretched in the hopes that the season of good cheer extends goodwill
toward others and certainly all of these agencies are deserving of our respect
and support for their good works.
Many people are very happy to give to various campaigns and enough people were
generous last year toward the WI Care § Share Caroling Project, that
sufficient money and materials were donated to make the Christmas season a
welcome and merry time for 22 of our less fortunate students. This year we
need help for 40.
The Care § Share Project is on again this year and your donations (cash or
non-perishable food), no matter how small, will bring warmth and delight to
someone who would otherwise have little during this season of merriment and
giving. Commencing Monday, December 1 through Friday, December 19, donations
to the Care § Share Project can be left at the Security Office, Counselling
Department or the Financial Aid office and after Monday, December 8 they may

be left at the Christmas Tree in the Mall. Join in the spirit of the
Christmas Season and give substance to your Christmas wishes with a donation
to the WI Care § Share Project.

CAROLING
It's the time of year for tradition and voices will be raised in salute as
caroling will begin in the Mall on Monday, December 15 at 12:00 and continue
daily until Friday, December 19.
Everyone is invited to partake!
done at a later date.

Be at work whenever you possibly can. Avoid excessive absences.
Try to be thoughtful and aware of the persons around you.
Be aware of the fine line between aggressiveness and initiative.
Limit private phone calls to those that are absolutely necessary.

Don't be messy in your personal appearance or in your work.
Don't discuss your personal appearance or in your work.
