**Please ask any other student group you are apart of if they would be interested in adopting a family for this years Adopt-A-Family event. Adopting a family entails purchasing clothes, toys, etc. for a family who otherwise would not necessarily be able to afford these items. The student groups would also then get to eat dinner with their family and watch them open the gifts when we have our big holiday dinner.
Please contact Maneesh ( mtiwari@indiana.edu

) if your group is interested.
