Harvest Dinner Dishes Cooked for You
|
|
|
|
Skip dish prep this year so you can spend more time with your friends and family. Dining's very own bakers and chefs are preparing cornbread, desserts, and even turkeys sure to impress your loved ones. They'll make your dishes, but unfortunately, they can't help you wash them. Orders for the Harvest Dinner Sale close today at noon, and pickup will be November 20–22 from 10–11am or 4:30–5:30pm outside of Carson's Market.

A Splashy Start to Partners in Giving; Housing Special Events Supporting the Campaign
If you haven’t made your 2023 campaign gift yet, you are invited to join your colleagues and donate to a charity (or charities) of your choice through Partners in Giving. You can also contribute through one of the many special events hosted by Housing's Partners in Giving committee. Housing has raised over $3,000 already! As an added incentive to UW–Madison employees and retirees, our university campaign co-chairs Jeff Novak and Jeff Russell, vice provost for lifelong learning and dean of the Division of Continuing Studies, have promised to take a polar plunge into Lake Mendota this winter if we raise $1 million by December 5. Watch Jeff and Jeff dive into the 2023 PinG campaign! Thank you to all who have given already—we are deeply grateful for your continued generosity, and thrilled to be your partner in giving.
