October
The October lecture will ring in the spirit of Halloween with a special presentation by Dr. Wendy Fonarow about the history of Halloween and a pumpkin carving contest!

Our first fundraiser begins in October with the sale of Tupperware items. The 40 percent profit will go towards our student scholarship fund. Last academic year, Classified Council raised more than $1,250 towards its student scholarship fund. We look forward to continuing this exciting opportunity!

November
Please look forward to our exciting 2004 Winter Holidays fundraiser from See’s Candies: chocolate favorites wrapped in very cute gift boxes. Each box item is $4. The chocolate will be delivered in time for the December holidays. The 50 percent profit will go towards Classified Council’s operational funding.

December
We will be hosting our annual holiday dinner party at Acapulco’s on Pacific Avenue in Glendale. Please  write  “Party at Acapulco’s” on December 9th in your calendar. Classified members receive a price break for this event. Lots of fun and prizes for this celebration. Our holiday party continues to be successful thanks to generous sponsors including the Bookstore, Los Robles, and members of the campus community like you!&
