The United Way Campaign Ends Tomorrow
See this year's Poster for today and tomorrow's events.
The United Way Campaign has had great success this week and sucessfully locked up these criminals
at the mock jail (put on by the Physical Plant) to raise United Way funds.
Outlaw, Marie Law, Research & Grad Studies, played her part in helping to raise money for the United Way this week, compliments of her husband. Well done, Marie - you made a very pleasant prisoner!
L-R Lynn Sibley (Registry), Tarjei Tennessen (PAS), Melani Lane (Conference)
The best way to contribute to the United Way is through payroll deduction. You can give $1, $2, $3, $20 or more per pay. It really adds up and it is for a worthwhile organization. You really don't notice it coming off your pay. Also, your contribution is tax deductible. Every contribution is a help to the United Way and the work they do in each of our communities.
Deadline for forms to be returned is November 6. For more information, please don't hesitate to contact Mariliyn Roberts at 893-6644 or mroberts@nsac.ca.

Class of ’44 Lecture
Widely published and award winning author, Julian Gwyn will be speaking at NSAC as part of the annual Class of '44 lecture series on "Farming in Nova Scotia: Kings County 1820s-1880s."
The Class of '44 Lecture is an annual event, open to the general public as well as staff and students at NSAC. Thanks to an endowment created by the Class of '44, admission is free. The lecture will take place in Alumni Boardroom, Cumming Hall, November 2 at 12:00 noon. Lunch provided.
Gwyn's book that might be of most interest to alumni is called "Excessive Expectations: Maritime Commerce and the Economic Development of Nova Scotia, 1740-1870" (1998). It contains much on Nova Scotia agriculture.
In 2010 he published four booklets entitled "Planter Nova Scotia,1760-1815", which deal with Cornwallis, Horton, Falmouth and Newport Townships.
He moved from the Ottawa Valley to the Annapolis-Cornwallis Valley in 2004, where he carries on a small horticultural business.
