We would like to invite you to take part in a great opportunity that embodies the Christmas spirit, helps a family in need, and provides the chance to win a wonderful gift for yourself or someone you love. We are fundraising as a joint venture between a group of students in Kristina Findley’s Leading and Managing People class and “PictureThis,” a business senior capstone project.
We are raffling off the chance to win a picture of your choice transferred over to a wood or metal canvas. All the proceeds of this raffle will be used to supply a local family in need with food and gifts for Christmas. This family consists of a recently married couple that both work full-time jobs, as well as look after their 2-year-old godson.
Ticket prices are $3 for one entry or $5 for two entries. Please visit this link and print/fill out the document and deliver the form, along with your cash donation, to Kelly Borror in the business office in Hoover by noon on Thursday, Dec. 6.
The winners will be announced at 2 p.m. that afternoon by e-mail. Two prizes will be raffled off, one wood and one metal 8×10 picture of your choice. The winner’s prize will be available for pick-up approximately one week after we receive an e-mail copy of the picture of your choice.
Thank you,
Zach Kramberg (zkramberg10@georgefox.edu)Â and Shaina Inn

If you are planning to return to George Fox next semester, please pay special attention to this message about meal plans for the spring 2013 semester.
Detailed information about meal plans can be found at this website.
Starting Jan. 2, students who are eligible to do so may change their meal plans in their MyGFU account.
Student Life strongly urges EVERYONE to confirm their meal plan to be certain that you have the meal plan that you are expecting.
You can change your meal plan and confirm which meal plan you have in your MyGFU account – STUDENT RESOURCES – UNIVERSITY FORMS after Jan. 2, 2013.
The 21, 14, 10, 10 +Flex, 7 and No Meal Plan all roll over from the fall to the spring semesters so you do not need to select a new plan if you are planning to be stay on the meal plan you had in the fall.
The 35 Block and the All Flex Plan do NOT roll over. These convert to the No Meal Plan. If you want to renew the All Flex or 35 Block Plan you must add these meal plans to your account in MyGFU.
Please Note: All changes must be processed no later than Friday, Jan. 25, 2013. However, students can always add a meal plan through out the semester by contacting Jere Witherspoon in the Student Life office.
Accommodations to the meal plan are provided only through documented medical conditions.
All questions about the meal plans should be directed to Jere Witherspoon.
And now, an essay about the meal plan benefits by Dave Johnstone, associate dean of residence life:
The best part of a meal plan has nothing to do with the quality or nutrition of the food. The attractive part of eating on a meal plan is the opportunity to frequently connect with peers and classmates. Sharing a meal, conversation around the table, debriefing the day or anticipating what might unfold is really the gem of being on a meal plan. Historically and culturally communities have been built around food. I am not sure why it works, but sharing a meal is one of most significant ways to build a relationship, hence it strengthens our community. That in itself is a major benefit for being on the meal plan.

Hello!
Please make sure that you turn in your signed time sheet to your supervisor after your last shift of the month (Friday is the 30th). If you forget to turn in your time sheet on time, you may not get paid on payday. Payday is Friday, Dec. 14, which also happens to be the last day of finals.
If you will be leaving campus before the 14th, and you will need your pay before you return in January, (which I bet you do!) I suggest that you sign up for Direct Deposit. If you choose to sign up for Direct Deposit, the form needs to be to HR by Friday, Dec. 7.
Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas break!
