Westminster Campus Cafeteria. Those

Nick will even drop by for a visit.

will have their name placed in a draw for

two tickets to the Vancouver Grizzlies vs.

Chicago Bulls game on January 28.

ve Trim a Tree, Help a
School
Last May, Geography’s Liz Peerless

visited Karanga Primary School in Moshi,

Tanzania. The school has only seven
small classrooms—most with mud floors,
and none with ceilings or doors—for 500
children. There is no electricity, running
water, telephone or even a typewriter.

Local parents are very capable of
performing building and painting jobs,
but there is no money to buy the
necessary materials. Thanks to a group
organized by Liz, this month you can be
part of the effort to help them to buy
wood, paint, and cement.

From December 2 to 13, please buy a
decoration to hang on a tree in the
concourse. Money collected from tree
decorations will be sent to Karanga
Primary School. To find out more about
this project or to make a donation, call
Liz Peerless at local 5306. You can also
contact Colleen Brown (5508), Terry
Farrell (5202), Linda Hayward (5599),
Dave Neilson (5249), Earl Noah (5313)
or Susan Smythe (5566).

xa Holiday Hampers
