<font face="Comic Sans MS">Happy December everyone,<br>
<br>
And it feels like it, too! Brrrr! At least I did get my car thawed
out before I had to jump in it and go this morning, though, so I wasn't
looking out through a hole in the frost for the first mile or so. (I
am <u>somewhat</u> trainable.) I can tell it's getting colder out
when only my fuzzy dogs want to go outside. The chihuahuas and the
chiweeny go to the door, look out, turn and go back to their warm spot
as if to say, "Never mind, we'll wait for spring." I don't blame
them. That's pretty much my sentiment also. <br>
<br>
Don't forget about the <b>Faculty/Staff Christmas Reception</b> to be
held <b>today from 4-5 in the Ballroom</b>. All employees are invited
to attend the festivities, and enjoy the great food provided by the
President and prepared by our Cafeteria crew, and visit with some of
the employees you don't see all that often. We so often wind up just
staying in our own little part of the world that there are people we
know that work here that we never see til there's a gathering like this
one. It's good to catch up with old friends every so often, and
today's your chance. According to Marci's email, you may close your
office to attend this gathering. <b>There will be door prizes</b>,
too, so you might get more than you bargained for today!<br>
<br>
This Saturday, there will be a <b>presentation on the Art and History
of Weaving at the Gallery</b> downtown across from Adelita's, <b>from
2-4 and again from 7-9</b>. This program is co-sponsored by the
Oklahoma Humanities Council, the Latimer County Arts Council and the
Gallery, and includes some hands-on participation, as well as displays
of woven items by artist Sandra Midgett, who will be giving the program.<br>
<br>
Between these 2 programs, Santa Claus will make his appearance in the <b>annual
Wilburton Christmas Parade</b>, so be sure and bring the kids and come
see the jolly old elf himself as he makes his yearly appearance in
Wilburton once again.<br>
<br>
Then <b>Sunday, Dec. 6, Paul Enis and the EOSC music department will
present the 83rd annual Candlelighting</b> here at Eastern. Please
come and join them in a celebration of the Christmas season. There
will be a <b>performance at 5:00 and another at 8:00</b>, so pick
whichever one suits your schedule.<br>
<br>
And for you Grill fans, <b>we will be serving off the grill again today</b>.<br>
