I just want to thank all of my George Fox family for the outpouring of love, prayer, thoughts, money, gifts, flowers, and cards. I appreciate everything the Fox community has done for me, and I am so touched by everything that has been done. I am on the road to recovery, and am looking foward to returning next semester.

Thank You,

The nursing department has adopted another family for Christmas, and employees and students are welcome to help. The family includes a working father, a stay-at-home mom, two daughters (ages 5 and 7), and a baby on the way.

Nursing has set up a gift tree on the second floor of the Hoover Academic Building. On it are ornaments with a gift listed on each. To participate, take an ornament, purchase the gift, and give it (wrapped or unwrapped) to Elaine Smith (Nursing). All gifts must be turned in by Wednesday, Dec. 12, so they can be delivered Thursday, Dec. 13, to the family.

Nursing also is seeking a tree and decorations to donate to the family. If anyone is willing to donate these, contact us.

There is also a food bin located by the tree for nonperishable foods (canned, boxed, etc.) for the family. Money collected is going toward the purchase of a gift card so the family can purchase perishable foods (turkey, produce, etc.).

Questions? E-mail Dottie Massey or Megan Davidson.

This is for such a wonderful cause and we appreciate everyone’s help.

Thank you,

– The Nursing Department and The Nursing Association

With Christmas break approaching, we ask that you secure your bikes in your living area or take them home if you don’t plan to use them again. This will cut down the temptation for those who wish to take one as an early Christmas present.
