Decking the halls and letting it snow

The elegant and warm Festival of Trees took place on Friday, December 2, 2011, in the Denk Chapman room of the Madame Cadillac building. The Staff Advisory Council did a phenomenal job organizing and hosting the event, and they chose a lovely theme in "Lighting the Way: A Symbol of Peace, Hope, and Thanksgiving."

And oh, was it beautiful. Ken Malecke, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, was responsible for securing the 25+ donated trees. Different departments and offices around campus volunteered to decorate them. Here's a before and after shot of the Library's tree:

Before...

...and after!

Antoinette Cartwright, student president of The Association of Dramatic Artists (TADA!) welcomed the large crowd. Jane Hammang-Buhl, Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Leslie Love, President of Staff Advisory Council, made the opening remarks. Students Jeriel Woods and Dejon Parmer were accompanied by Tara Sievers of the Music department on piano. Student Jennifer Colvin performed a liturgical dance solo, and then TADA! and the Theater Department showed a short film of Marygrove students, staff and faculty describing what they're thankful for this holiday season. The Office of Student Engagement and Leadership provided donuts and hot cocoa - so delicious!

What are we thankful for this holiday season? Among other things, magical mornings like this:

Gobble gobble! (says the...?)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! We wish you a warm and wonderful weekend filled with delicious food and quality time with the people you love.

We are thankful to Jesse Cox, Director of Campus Ministry, for spearheading the effort to collect 40+ Thanksgiving baskets from the Marygrove community. These baskets were collected yesterday and delivered to St. Leo's Parish and the Destiny Worship Center, both in Detroit.

One of these baskets came from library faculty and staff. Together we bought or "borrowed" from our own pantries enough food for a delicious holiday dinner, including mac & cheese, green beans, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, corn, cornbread stuffing, dinner rolls, chicken stock, yellow cake mix and frosting, fresh fruit, fruit juice, and a $20 Kroger gift card for the turkey and fresh produce. (Whew - we're getting hungry just thinking about it.)

The library will be closed for the weekend beginning Thursday, November 24. We'll reopen with normal hours on Monday, November 28th. Happy holiday!
