The holiday season is an opportunity to celebrate with colleagues and friends, and share our good fortune with individuals and organizations that need our support. In connection with our seasonal celebration on Friday, we are supporting the community in the following ways:

  1. Collecting food for the AMS Food Bank. Find out where you can donate.
  2. Dollars for Votes: Support the UBC United Way campaign by inviting others to Brock Hall between noon and 3 pm Friday, when they can vote for their favourite gingerbread house. Each dollar donated means one vote for the gingerbread creation of their choice.
  3. 50/50 raffle: Support two local charities (VOKRA and Quest Food Exchange) Note: This is NOT the UBC wide raffle that Judy has been selling tickets for. This is an ES only draw. Watch for a visit from Coby or Ashley or pop by our desks in room 0040 to buy tickets.

See you Friday at 4 pm in the Brock Hall Concourse for some light appetizers and refreshments. In addition to pop and (alcohol-free) punch, wine and beer will be served. If you will be drinking wine or beer, please ensure you have arranged for a safe ride home.
