The Daily Bruin

The ARC will be closed all day on Wednesday, Nov. 21 (the day before Thanksgiving break). Regular hours will resume the following Monday.

Thank you for your understanding!

Staff and faculty: If you can’t remember the last time you updated your vehicle registration(s), now would be a great time to pop onto MyGFU to see what is listed, and make any needed additions/deletions.

Here are the steps:

• Log on to MyGFU and select “Self Service” in the shaded box in the upper left corner.
• Next, click on “University Forms.” The “Newberg Vehicle Registration” link should pop up in the center of the page, and after clicking on it, you can review your vehicle registration.
• If you no longer possess a vehicle listed there, just click on the “minus” sign to the right of the listing and it will disappear.
• To add additional vehicles, just click on the “Add Additional Vehicle” box and input your vehicle’s information.
• Lastly, e-mail Nadine Kincaid (nkincaid@georgefox.edu) to let us know you’ve made changes.

Is your hang tag in a state of disrepair? Just bring in the shards to Security Services and we can re-issue a new permit hang tag on the spot. Can’t find your hang tag? Bring $5 to security for a new one. E-mail us prior to coming and we can have it waiting for you.

Tired of trying to remember to switch your hang tag from car to car? Additional permits are available for $5 each to help eliminate that stress in your life! Feel free to call ext. 2090 if you have any questions not addressed here, and we’d be happy to help!

Adjunct faculty: If you are going to be on contract for 2013, we now have new parking permits for 2013 available for you, as all adjunct permits expire on Dec. 31, 2012.

There are two ways to get your updated permit:

• You can stop by Security Services during office hours and we can do it on the spot and update your vehicle information, or
• You can go to MyGFU and update your information and then e-mail nkincaid@georgefox.edu so we can get an updated permit sent to you via campus mail

Questions? Either e-mail Nadine Kincaid at the above address, or call ext. 2090, and we’d be happy to help!

All of the lost and found items accumulated since Oct. 2 will be displayed at the lost and found tables in the Bruin Den this Tuesday, Nov. 20, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Please bring all of those lost items hanging around your offices to Security Services before Tuesday so they can (hopefully) be reunited with their owners. If you are missing items, either stop by security or come by the tables on Tuesday, as all items not reunited with owners will be donated to charitable causes Tuesday afternoon.

Thank you,
Security Services

Do you love truffles? Are you interested in helping out a missionary family in Uganda this Christmas? If so, please consider purchasing some truffles (gluten free!) to help me make the trip to Africa!

These will hold up for Christmas and most definitely would be an excellent gift and/or party treat. They are $10 a dozen and varieties include almond, cherry, coconut, coffee bean, peppermint (my personal fav!) and “traditional” (dark chocolate).

I can deliver these to you if you are in the Newberg area, or I can mail them! And they hold up well. I have even mailed them to Wyoming to a friend who freezed them and saved them for months. They even made it to some soldiers in Afghanistan. If I have to mail them to you, I will have to add the cost of postage, so just tack on $10, please.

If interested or if you have questions, feel free to e-mail me at eheidy09@georgefox.edu or call me at 503-901-1062.

Thank you,
Elise Heidy
