Imagine: Delicious, homemade chocolate-chip cookies delivered to your
door during Finals week

Duke Habitat can help make it happen!  This December, we’re partnering  with Little Hands Bakery to deliver cookie care packages to students –  and all proceeds go to help Habitat for Humanity build homes in the  local community. The cookies are homemade by local youth and their  parents, and will be hand-delivered during Finals week to campus dorms/ apartments and off-campus housing. Forward the order form (http://www.duke.edu/web/dukehabitat/cookieorderform.pdf) to your  parents so they can send a “little hand” – both to you and to the city of Durham!   They can order two dozen, one dozen, or a single cookie, include a  personal message, and specify which day during Finals Week they would  like the package delivered. Payment should be in the form of a check  made out to “Habitat of Durham” with “Duke Care Package” in the memo  line. Checks and order forms should be mailed by November 26th to:

Youth United, Habitat for Humanity of Durham

All students are invited to join in the first ever Duke Arts Weekend!  The weekend will include an opportunity to meet and network with alumni who contribute to the arts in a variety of ways from independently creating to supporting the business of the arts or arts-related legal issues.  An art exhibition will be located at the Bryan Center from 2:00 p.m. on Friday through Saturday evening.  Various student performances will also be featured throughout the weekend.

Twenty-five alumni are returning to campus to represent the TV/Film, Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Music Industries!
