Hi everyone!
We will be having our annual Grad Student Holiday Party on Friday December 8th in Room 218. We will have a potluck at 12 pm (noon), followed by a gift exchange at around 1:30 pm. Sign up sheets for the potluck and gift exchange will be placed in the Grad Student Lounge, or you may email me (ammetera(a)myumanitoba.ca) and I will add you to the sign up sheet. You may participate in the potluck without participating in the gift exchange, or participate in the gift exchange without participating in the potluck!
For the potluck, we ask that you indicate what type of dish you will be bringing (ex. Appetizer, main course, dessert). While it is not necessary that all dishes be suitable for all members to enjoy, please keep in mind that some of our members have peanut allergies, are vegans or vegetarians or have other dietary restrictions.
For the gift exchange, the suggested price for a gift is $20. Those who wish to participate may bring a "generic" wrapped gift that anyone would enjoy receiving, and we will play a game to distribute the gifts! If you wish to participate in the gift exchange, we ask that you sign up no later than Wednesday, December 6th.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. We look forward to seeing you all at the party!
