Mail and print services will be on a reduced schedule during the holiday break. Please take note of the hours below:
Print services will be closed from Thursday, Dec. 24, through Friday, Jan. 1. Please plan accordingly for your printing needs.
Mail services will be open limited hours during the week between Christmas and New Year’s. On Dec. 29 and 30, the hours of operation will be 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. U.S. Mail will be the only service offered for those two days, so if you need to send mail or packages through U.S. Mail, you must have your items to mail services no later than noon. Anything after noon will need to be taken to the downtown post office.
In addition, mail services will not be getting delivery or pickup services from UPS, FedEx and DHL. Therefore, if you have any packages you want sent via UPS, FedEx or DHL, we recommend you take your packages to the “Mailroom,†located in the Springbrook shopping center. They will happily take care of your shipping needs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Richard Silver at rsilver@georgefox.edu or 503-554-2551.
Happy holidays to you all!

Embrace Ministries is hosting a baking party, and you’re invited! Join us from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. this Sunday, Nov. 22, for a baking fundraiser in support of Child Protective Services.
Anyone who enjoys baking and/or is interested in supporting local CPS workers is welcome to join us. If you can, please bring a box of some kind of baking mix (muffins, brownies, cookies, etc.). We will provide oil, eggs and all the cooking supplies (bowls, spoons, paper cups for cupcakes, etc.). We will also provide supplies for making cards. There will be Christmas music and free hot chocolate to fuel inspiration.
CPS workers have some of the most physically, mentally and emotionally taxing jobs, and are rarely thanked for their work in protecting vulnerable children every day. With the added stress of the holiday season, this is the perfect time to show our appreciation for their hard work by making homemade treats and cards and delivering them to the local child welfare office in Yamhill County.
If interested, email Mikayla Greenwell (mgreenwell12@georgefox.edu) for the address where we will be doing baking. If you can’t make it to the party you are also welcome to make treats on your own (a floor/house-baking party?) and contact Mikayla to get them delivered. We’ll meet in a house within walking distance of campus, but if you would prefer to set up a ride in case of poor weather, contact Mikayla.
Please RSVP by Thursday afternoon, Nov. 19. We are looking forward to this event and thank you in advance for attending!
