A contest, sweets and summer sausage; must be time for the annual holiday brunch

‘Tis the season for summer sausage. Or at least it is for those attending the annual holiday brunch for faculty and staff, where the coveted sausage is a stand out prize. There are chances to win plenty of other real-deal door prizes, too. But only if you RSVP in time to receive your raffle tickets. So be sure to RSVP to the 2012 Holiday Sweet Shoppe Annual Chapman Holiday Jubilee by Friday, Dec. 7. You can do that right here.

At that link you can also learn all about Mary’s Kitchen and how you can help out this beloved Orange service agency with donations of any size.

But wait – there’s more! This year the party planners have added a Gingerbread House Competition to the festivities and campus departments are invited to strut their sweet building skills. Deadline to enter is Wednesday, Dec. 5. The gingerbread kits arrive Monday, Dec. 10. Learn more about that here, too.
