Editor's Note
 

Busy Week!

Hi Dwight Hall!


Hope you all had restful and productive Thanksgiving breaks, because weve got a lot for you to do this week!


Please see below for all the information about AIDS Week, the Alternative Gift Market, the Bone Marrow Dive and ongoing Clothing Drive.


There are also two very exciting new opportunities from the Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project. 1. You can be a part of the first effort of Yale students to house the homeless. 2. You can help provide maximum tax refunds to low-income New Haven families. See below for more information about both opportunities!


Id also like to make a final pitch for the New Haven Tree Lighting Celebration which will be tomorrow, Thursday December 2, from 4:00 8:00PM on the New Haven Green. A jem of the city, this holiday event is always filled with cheer! This is not a service event, but a time to join in celebration with the community we serve. Santa will be there, and so will I!


There will be one more issue of the D-Holla before Winter Break so if you have any events occurring near the end of reading week or during finals week, please let me know!

 

Hope all is well,
Joe
