COMBINED FUND DRIVE (CFD) IS A WORKPLACE GIVING PROGRAM
The CFD at Shoreline Community College has raised over 25,000 dollars last year alone. This outpouring of compassion is another fine example of working together “the Washington Way” to better the lives of others. Last year, the CFD focused on encouraging donors to make their pledges through the payroll deduction program. We know that gifts made through this convenient method are especially appreciated by non-profit organizations and aid them in planning their ongoing charitable activities. This year, the CFD hopes to increase participation, especially through payroll deductions.

It takes just a few minutes to sign up. Changes can be made anytime. All donations are kept confidential. www.cfd.wa.gov provides secure 24 hour access to your charitable giving account. Convenient payroll deductions are available and one time donations are welcome. Even a small donation can have a big impact. For example, $5 each month for a year can provide: 188 pounds of food, a daily nourishing meal for 20 children in Third World Countries, 100 cedar trees for habitat restorations; five nights at an emergency shelter, 21 hours of adult reading lessons.

Please go to www.cfd.wa.gov to make a donation and for more information or contact Debbie Sherman in Human Resources at 206.546.5880.

ISS CLUB PRESENTS 'WATER'
Wednesday, November 28 at 1 pm in Room 1813
'Water' is about a young girl who is married to a much older, sickly man through an arranged marriage. The husband then dies and the widow chooses to live in a temple amongst other widows. In the past, Hindu widows often had to choose from either marrying a brother of the husband, dying on the funeral pyre with the corpse, or living in seclusion amongst other widows.

The director's synopsis is given as: Set in 1938 Colonial India, against Mahatma Gandhi's rise to power, 'Water' begins when eight-year-old Chuyia is widowed and sent to a home where Hindu widows must live in penitence. Chuyia’s feisty presence affects the lives of the other residents, including a young widow, who falls for a Gandhian idealist. For more information about the film please visit imdb.com.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT HOLDS CANNED FOOD DRIVE
Student Government is holding a Canned Food Drive through November 30th. We are making an effort to help people in need during this Thanksgiving season. To do so we are collecting canned food, non-perishable items and hygiene products at six locations on campus: the 1000 building, the library, the FOSS building, the Student Lounge, the gym, and the Parent-Child Center. All collections will be donated to these four local food banks: Hopelink Shoreline, Lifelong AIDS Alliance, Mary's Place Homeless Women's Shelter, and the Edmonds Food Bank.

We would like to invite all of you to join us in this endeavor. Faculty, we would also appreciate it if you would be willing to inform your classes of this ongoing Canned Food Drive. Hopefully, with all of our effort, we can get the campus more involved in helping the community during this holiday season.

GET YOUR STOCKING STUFFERS AT THE BOOKSTORE
It's that time of year when finding the "right" stocking stuffer becomes a delightful obsession. This year you need not look any further than the 5000 building. We have a wonderful selection of ornaments and holiday candy. Visit your campus bookstore for some fresh and unique ideas!

ORAGAMI LOVE LETTERS IN THE LIBRARY AND ART CENTER
Artist Betty Bastai is asking the entire campus to participate in an interactive installation that she will install in the campus gallery next February. Love letters folded into origami doves will be suspended from the ceiling of the gallery in an exhibition entitled "Hovering Love". She would like the Shoreline campus to provide the origami love birds. Two tables will be set up from Nov. 15th to the 30th in the lobby of the 2000 building and the lobby of the Library, where origami paper and instructions will be available for anyone wishing to participate. There will also be collection boxes for completed birds. They will not be read, and since they will be folded, the words will only be partially visible. So feel free to come by and express your love to anyone.
