Now that Thanksgiving is past, the moon is rising on the next highlight of the October calendar—Hallowe’en.

Save the date and get your costume ready, because the annual Faculty and Staff Hallowe’en Social is scheduled for Wednesday, October 31, noon to 1:15 p.m. in Vanier Hall’s Winclare A.

All University of Windsor staff and faculty are invited to the event, which promises prizes for best individual and group costumes in addition to door prizes and a free luncheon, sponsored by the president’s office.

2011 winners: Rosemary Plastow of the Student Counselling Centre and Jacqueline Mellish of Residence Services won individual prizes last year for their costumes as the title heroine of the Robert Munsch fable, The Paperbag Princess.
