Updates!

Hi WIL members! A quick update for those of you interested in upcoming events:

• The Students’ Union is pleased to announce a “Toy Mountain” initiative. Students will have the opportunity to donate new, packaged toys during the week of December 5th through 9th from 11:00 am-2:00 pm at the “Ugly Sweater Sale” table in the North Courtyard of MacEwan Student’s Centre. While all students are encouraged to donate and will be entered into a prize draw at the end of the week, we are offering additional incentive for clubs. Club members can donate toys on behalf of their club, and the club who donates the most toys will win additional club funding.

• The International Relations Club will be hosting Operational Christmas Child (OCC) box processing days on: Monday, December 5, and Tuesday, December 6 4 - 6:30 pm please be there by 3:45 for a short informational film. The groups will leave from and return to the U of C (if you are able to drive some other volunteers, please let them know!) WIL members can RSVP to Katherine Koch, the VP External of the IR Club with: "OCC Volunteer Contact Info [Name]" (as the subject) Full name Phone number Emergency Contact & Emergency Contact Phone number (in the body). Volunteers are encouraged to bring items to fill a box - they'll have some really nice reusable plastic boxes available. If you have any extra wrapping paper hanging around, please bring it along!

• For those who missed the deadline for Self-Defense training, there are still some spots available! The training sessions will still be this FRIDAY December 2, but the time has been changed from 4-6 pm (location is still TBA). The price for admission is $25, but if you bring a friend, it'll be cheaper! Email wil@ucalgary.ca to RSVP. The new deadline is THURSDAY December 1 at 12 pm.

With exams & papers we know this is a busy time of year for everybody. If you're unable to make it out to any of these events, don't worry - we have plenty more where these came from.

Bundle up, stay warm & study hard!
