The Daily Bruin

The university community is invited to drop by the EHS and Hoover atriums today (Monday) between noon and 4 p.m. to view the research exhibits created by students in the Liberal Arts and Critical Issues course this semester.

The event will give LACI students the opportunity to present their research and offer practical solutions regarding the challenges of Islam and the West.

Questions? Contact Paul Otto at potto@georgefox.edu or ext. 2676.

The admissions office is still selling flowers left from Bruin Preview. They are Kalanchoes and are being sold for $2 on the second floor of the Stevens Center. Please contact Mandee Wilmot at awilmot@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Students: If you are unable to make it home for Thanksgiving, then we have an event for you. A student-run Thanksgiving will be taking place on Thursday, Nov. 22. You can come and stay for as long as you desire.

Help cook all day or just come for the meal and night festivities. No need to bring anything, just yourself. You are more than welcome to bring food or something else (a board game, maybe), but only if you feel inclined to do so. Seriously, you can come and just eat, hang out, and enjoy the festive company of others.

It will be held right across the street from Lemmons at 603 N. Meridian St. (big white house on the corner).

Invite any and all students! I do not anyone to have Thanksgiving by themselves! Have it in warm and friendly company. Make new friends! I would like the Bon to be empty on Thanksgiving night.

Possible activities:

• Swing dancing
• Watch a movie
• Cooking
• Crafts
• Eating
• Games
• More eating
• Getting to know others
• Chilling out/digesting
• Talk story
• Whatever else we can imagine!

My hope and dream is to create a friendly environment where students can feel like they are at home for Thanksgiving. Though I know that may not be possible, I want to get close.

Please contact me if interested.

The prize: $50 and your logo featured this spring as the official Fox Film Festival logo!

Hello all!
James Project is coming up on its LAST few community service opportunities of the semester. This week we are partnering with Faith in Action. There is much to be done as we will be helping 4 to 5 members of our community with cleaning, organizing, yard work and putting in storm windows at their homes.

If you have a heart for service, PLEASE, consider coming to James Project. First timers are more than welcome. We need all the help we can get! Men and women.

For QUESTIONS, more DETAILS and/or to RSVP, contact James Project coordinator, Miranda D’Agostini, at mdagostini11@georgefox.edu

You’re service is greatly appreciated. Join us in being the hands and feet of Christ to our local Newberg community.

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
