With a theme of “The Big Chill,” this year’s holiday luncheon for faculty and staff promises the company of colleagues in a casual setting, says catering manager Dean Kissner.

“We are doing the same type of stand-up reception as last year, with several new themed food stations,” he says. “Our guests will enjoy a festive holiday setting.”

The event will run from noon to 2 p.m. Thursday, December 13, in Vanier Hall’s Winclare Room A. Admission is $10, which includes tax and a glass of wine.

Tickets are available until December 10 from Catering Services; phone 519-253-3000, ext. 3277 or 3276. In addition, a collection of canned goods and cash donations at the door will support the Student Food Bank.
