Holidays at the Woods

The Holidays are here and your Cy Woods Stu Co is embracing the season in all sorts of ways this year.

1)  Our Famous DOOR DECORATING contest begins today!  This year's theme is Christmas Around the World so get your door into the holiday spirit in time for judging on December 14.

2)  Clubs, teams and sports, there are still a few trees left for DECK THE HALLS.  Organizations are invited to reserve one of our trees and get it yuletide ready.  Fabulous prizes are up for grabs for this year's best tree.  Look for those to start appearing soon in the Red Wing.

3)  Today also begins our HOLIDAY COMFORT DRIVE.  This week, we're collecting NEW socks and gently used or NEW blankets to be donated to the Star of Hope Mission in Houston.  Items can be dropped off in rooms 2209 or 2216 - or if you email the Selfs, a Stu Co member can pick them up for you.
