OCW At The Annual
Thanksgiving Luncheon- Sharing The Feast
The Organization of Campus Women (OCW) invites the UW-L community to join
them in a food drive that corresponds with the University's annual Thanksgiving
Luncheon. Anyone who is interested should bring a non-perishable food item to the
luncheon and OCW will have boxes on hand. All food items will be donated to
WAFER (the West Avenue Food Emergency Resource). Any non-perishable food
is appropriate including: peanut butter, tuna, helper mixes, cereals, and/or pastas.
We hope you join us in this easy way to share the feast.
OCW is reserving a table or two at the Thanksgiving luncheon. If you'd like to join
us, get your reservation in early and mention that you'll be sitting with OCW. See
you there!
