• LOST WALLET

  Attention everyone, I seem to have lost my wallet somewhere in or near the MSC or Graybill Hall. Description: -Rustic Brown(has a worn look to it) -Rusty Gold Buttons going down the middle in pairs. -Flips open and has a flap on the inside. Contents: -drivers liscence -debit card -4 gift cards -social security card -blood card from the American Red Cross.

  It is very important that I find it before Friday because I have a plane to catch and it would be impossible to do so without identification! Everyones help would be much appreciated and I will most likely buy you dinner if you find it for me! Thank you for your cooperation!

• Lamoni Business Fair in MSC Mainroom

  On Thursday, December 3 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., the SIFE Small Business Consulting team is holding a Business Fair for all of the local Lamoni businesses, and Graceland students alike. The event will be held in the MSC Mainroom.

  Our team's hope is that we can bring local businesses together with the Graceland Community to inform everyone of how great Lamoni can really be and how much it can offer. We have found that too many students will go north or south to Wal-mart, not knowing that whatever they are going for, can be found right here in Lamoni. The businesses will bring samples, flyers, and tons of information. I think that this is very valuable for any student.

  To make it worth it for the businesses that are coming to the fair, our thought is that one possibility would be to make it an assignment of some nature, or to offer extra credit for attending the Business Fair, but a suggestion to attend would work great too! This can help all students and what better way to get the word out than having the instructors tell their students. Hopefully you can influence your students to attend this event, and we'll have a great informative event.

  Email me (Collin Isham) if you have any other questions. Thank you so much for all that you do, and we really appreciate your consideration and attention on this topic! THANK YOU!
