You donated 95 books!


Wow - students, staff, and faculty... You donated 95 books for the Angel Tree ceremony on December 17, 2009. That night, 45 children of inmates were invited to campus for a Christmas celebration including a visit from Santa, music, traditional dancing and drumming, a delicious dinner, and caroling. Plus - every child received a brand new book labeled with his or her name...all because of you! Thank you for your generosity in brightening these children's holiday season.
