If you have any questions, please contact Naomi (nolson@ltsg.edu) or Shawn (sberkebile@ltsg..edu). PARENTS, an RSVP is NOT required, but if you know you will take advantage of this opportunity, please let Naomi so that enough volunteers and supplies are present. Thanks!

Social Wellness invites the community to an evening of fun to break up the stress of finals! A White Elephant Gift Exchange will be held Dec. 11, from 7:00pm to 10:00pm in the Valentine Coffee Shop. There is no need to spend money on this gift! Look for something around your apartment: gifts you've been given that you've never had a use for, or found so ugly you left it in the box! The idea is to have fun, so keep that in mind when you're choosing! The gifts should be wrapped. Also, bring your favorite wine to share, your own wine glass, and a Christmas snack to pass around. The gift evening will be come and go as you please, but the gift exchange will happen promptly at 8:00pm. Hope to see many of you there!
