Free Popcorn!

Yes, you read that right.

I have limited quantities of microwave popcorn in the following flavors:

• Unbelievable Butter
• Butter Light
• Kettle Corn

Come see me in ERIT to get the flavor of your choice.

And if you happen to like it, consider purchasing a box to support scouting, or make a donation to send popcorn to our military troops, families and veterans around the world.

Other flavors of pre-popped popcorn are also available for purchase, including cheddar, caramel and chocolate.

Thanks.

Fall Holiday Decorating Competition 2013

Hi everyone!

Its that time of year again. As the weather gets colder we start thinking about Fall holidays. This year we will have another decorating competition, this year its "spooky skulls". Each department should come pick up one for decoration, they are available in the reference office. Have them back to the reference office (Emily) by October 21st so we can put them out for a vote! I'm not sure about the space we are displaying them in, so make them whatever size seems right to you.

If you don't want a "spooky skull" think about decorating them in the theme of Day of the Dead, a Mexican holiday that remembers those who have passed on and takes place November 1st-2nd (often with candy skulls painted bright colors).

We will be having our fall staff association meeting Thursday October 31st. Keep an eye out for the time and food sign up sheet, which I'll send out by next week.

thanks!

Popcorn Fundraiser for Scouting

If you are interested in buying some really good popcorn (and supporting Scouting at the same time) please see me before October 14. Thanks!
