2018 Annual B-SLUG Holiday Party and Smith Society Fundraiser Set for Sunday, December 9

Yay! The table is set! It's time to mark your calendars for the annual BSLUG Holiday Party! It will take place on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 9 at the artist loft of our very generous host, Cowell alum, Jill Hoy. (Check out her beautiful artwork on her website http://www.jillhoy.com)

The party is a fundraiser** for the Smith Renaissance Society, founded by Cowell alumnus Bill Dickinson. The Smith Society provides UCSC mentors, scholarships, and collegiate resources to foster children, homeless and runaway youth, orphans, and wards of the court. 

Donations at all levels are appreciated. However, Stephen Marino has an unlimited number of Above UCSC calendars and a gorgeous poster (24" x 36") that he's making available to any B-Slug who donates $100 whether or not they attend the holiday party. To see the poster go to https://photos.app.goo.gl/GuU7Wjdc5TCNYTUN7
