Hi Everyone!

Thanks to everyone who has signed up in the grad lounge for Secret Santa. For those who have signed up, or if you haven't signed up and would still like to participate, we will be drawing names tomorrow (Wednesday, December 3rd) at 12:00 in the grad lounge. Please show up then to draw a name! If you can't make it at this time, send me an email letting me know and we can arrange another time for you to pick a name.

Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Greg

Hello everyone!

Christmas is coming up and we were hoping to have a couple of holiday related events.

We thought we would do a Secret Santa gift exchange. In case you aren't aware of what Secret Santa is, it is an anonymous gift exchange that involves picking a name out of a hat. You then buy a gift ($10-15 limit) for that person - but you aren't supposed to reveal whose name you have until after the exchange is over. The only names that will be included in the exchange are those who want to participate so we are looking to see who is interested.

If you are interested in taking part in the Secret Santa (or you have more questions) please send an email to either me (swaenepd@myumanitoba.ca) or Greg (umbartle@myumanitoba.ca?). We will also put a sign-up sheet in the grad lounge. If is there is enough interest we will set a date to meet to draw names.

We are also planning to have a holiday lunch on Friday, December 12th (time to be decided). We are planning to order pizzas or whatever, collecting money from those who are able to come. We will send out more info closer to the date. (This is where the gift exchange will occur).

Please reply if you have interest or questions about the gift exchange!!

Thanks,

Danica
