AAA Holiday Party: the 18th, not the 11th The annual holiday party of the African-American Association of Administrators Faculty and Staff is tomorrow (not last Wednesday as mistakenly published here last week) but the time and place were right: noon-2 p.m. in the third floor conference room of Lauder-Fischer Building.
Steppin' Out: The Trolleys Take an Encore the 18th Last week's trolley ride that extended Steppin' Out shoppingall the way out to the Firehouse Farmer's Market was such a success it will be repeated tomorrow during the last of the 5-8 p.m. holiday shopping sprees, Coordinator Helen Walker says. But next spring the whole Steppin' Out program itself will be back for an encore: "The storekeepers loved it, the shoppers loved it, so we're going to do it again in April," Ms. Walker said.
