Holiday Givings
Polk County Humane Society
(PCHS) is a No-Kill organization that, with the help of foster homes,
provides temporary housing and care for dogs and cats. And with their
new shelter facilities opening the first week of November, they will
have a greater than ever need for supplies to care for animals they
previously had to turn away. In addition to the shelter, PCHS will
continue to bring the dogs to the Springfield PetsMart on Saturday
mornings to participate in the adoption clinic. The new shelter is
just one reason why Polk County Humane Society is excited to be adopted
by the Theatre & Dance Department for the holiday season.
Northwood Hills Care Center is situated in rural Humansville, Missouri. Northwood Hills has served the Humansville community for twenty
years providing inpatient and outpatient
rehabilitation, return-to-home programs, and the highest level of
senior health care.
The staff at Northwood Hills Care Center strives to make tomorrow
better than today for the residents they serve, and that is why they
are overwhelmingly appreciative of our efforts to gather comfort items
that some of their senior residents are missing out on.
To
support one or both of these organizations, please see the donation
lists posted outside Angie's office (CRA359). The collection boxes
will remain there from November 1st until December 10th
(last day of classes). She will then transport the items to each
facility. There will also be cards to sign for the Northwood
residents.

Ticket Giveaway
 This week, you can win two tickets to see Little House on the Prairie: The Musical at Juanita K. Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts on it's opening night: Friday, November 6, 2009, at 8:00 PM
If you wish to enter in this giveaway, please send an e-mail to Matt Tassell (Tassell65456@Live.MissouriState.edu) with "Little House on the Prarie" in the subject field by Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 12:00 PM.
Restoring our faith in the future by recalling the stories of our past...LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE
has remained one of the most popular and beloved celebrations of early
Americana since the appearance of Laura Ingalls Wilder's popular
classic book series 70 years ago. Now the inspirational stories take on
a brand new frontier in an uplifting new musical. Melissa Gilbert, who
played Laura for ten years in the much-loved television series,
continues her legacy by starring as Ma. Families will continue to fall
in love with the life affirming stories about the Ingalls' struggles
and triumphs through the celebration of the pioneering spirit and the
core values on which this country was founded - a spirit that resonates
within each of us today.
