CLIMBING ANOTHER $1,258

The Great Stair Climb Expedition, held November 1st had seven energetic folk sporting the Schulich logo, as part of an impressively large Western team. Our group climbed the 472 steps (25 floors worth) in about 8 minutes, making us all proud and bringing in another $1258 for the campaign. The team included: Nancy Fedyk, Gillian Sneddon, Barb Sandford, Karen Funk, Patricia Morris, Stephen Sims, and Kris Dundas. Our thanks to McCabe Promotional Advertising for donating the good-looking t-shirts. Students from Meds & Dents also made the climb!

Breakfast Bonus

Change collected at a breakfast today, organized by the Dean's Social Committee boosted our United Way Campaign by another $178.64. Congratulations to Darla McNeil, the winner of a chocolate gift basket. Our thanks to the committee for choosing to support the United Way, and for the great breakfast as well!
