LFS Holiday Party – will be in person!
All faculty and staff are invited to the LFS Holiday Party on Thursday, Dec. 9. Based on the poll from our last Townhall, 60% of people indicated they favour holding an in-person event, so we will be returning to Agora this year. This event gives us an opportunity to ring out the year together, and celebrate and recognize our LFS Service Award winners.
There will be individual boxed meals catered by Hānai Family Table, so when you register, please indicate your meal preference.
We are looking for volunteers! If you would like to help, let us know when you register – we are looking for people to help with decorations, setting up/cleaning up Agora, emceeing, photography and general tasks.
Please Note: this Holiday Party is for faculty and staff members only due to room capacity guidelines. LFS graduate students will be hosting their own holiday event. |
