CHAPARRAL

Wow, how time flies! I hope that everyone experienced the start of a great semester. 

            Our October meeting featured a special presentation by Dr. Wendy Fonarow who shared with us the origin of Halloween and of Jack ’O Lanterns. Our presentor’s knowledge on the topic was quite extensive;  her master’s degree is actually on the subject of Halloween! Also, eight creatively carved pumpkins were submitted to our pumpkin contest. First prize winner was Arturo Yepez of Admissions and Records and second prize winner was myself! That was a lot of fun! Finally, our grand raffle winner of the month was Scott Rubke of the Aviation department who, by the way, graciously offered his winnings ($77) towards the Classified Council Student Scholarship fund. Thank you for your generosity Scott!

            November’s highlight is the Tupperware fundraiser organized by Vivian Darakjian from the Library. Fifty percent of the sales will go towards our Student Scholarship fund. Thank you Vivian for your time and support!

            Yes, the holidays are just around the corner, and I want to take this opportunity to invite everyone to our upcoming holiday party on December 11 at Milano’s restaurant in Glendale. This special evening includes a delicious dinner and many wonderful door prizes for everyone! This special holiday dinner will be $20 for Classified Council members and $25 for non-members. Everyone is welcome! We’ll be distributing special flyers with all the details soon! &

Please save December 11 on your calendar so we can capture a special moment together!
