Another service opportunity...

The Graduate Society of Nutritional Sciences (GSNS) has decided to begin collecting gifts for Columbus' LifeCare Alliance! They are in need of small gifts for their senior citizens, who are mainly low-income men and women who rarely get out of their homes. In room 325 there is a flyer and a list (for you to take home) of possible gift ideas. These gifts need to be wrapped and returned to room 325 by December 9th. This is an easy way to put a huge smile on someone's face this holiday season. Thanks you for your help!

Wanted: gift wrappers

Ashley Harris is coordinating a gift-wrapping service project. Two people are needed per shift. The available dates are going fast so please let her know specific dates that could work for you or at least general times (weekend before exams, after exams, etc). Transportation is available for those who need it.

This is a simple way (they donate all materials) for us to raise money for charity. Contact Ashley (aharris@ehe.osu.edu) for more information.
