Holiday Party Baking Competition

Hello BGSA and affiliates,

Some holiday traditions are probably best left in the past. But the BGSA Holiday Party Baking Competition is not one of them, and it continues on this year stronger than ever.

Last year, David Ross and Emily Bamforth walked away with the top prizes for Regular and Specialty categories, respectively, and are still to this day basking in the glory of their triumph.

If you too would like a piece of this eternal veneration (or, if that doesn’t interest you, there are also PRIZES), your first step would be to sign up on the google doc, including in which category you will be competing, and the general form your entry will take (cookie, bar, cake, etc.). Second step would be to either bake the best entry, or to pay off your friends to vote for you*.

Ready, get set, BAKE!

BGSA Annual Party

Hello BGSA members,

It’s that time of year again – the BGSA is proud to present “The Nightmare Before Christmas” Holiday Party! As is tradition, on Dec. 10 2014 from 6PM until closing we will be celebrating the holidays together at the Thomson House ballroom. Tickets are $10 for students and post-docs, $15 for faculty and staff (children are free!). Tickets include appetizers, a delicious dinner catered by Maison Thai (vegetarian and vegan options available), and lots of fun entertainment with friends and co-workers! We encourage fancy and/or theme-based attire. Also, we will be having the dessert contest (N.B.C. theme is extra awesome), organized by Dieta Hanson, so start planning your masterpieces and keep an eye on your inbox to find out how to enter the contest!

Please purchase tickets from Leanne Elchyshyn in Stewart Biology W6/5, Dieta Hanson in Redpath Museum rm 207, and Mary-Rose Bradley-Gill in the Bellini Building rm 232. Buy your tickets fast, as there is limited availability!

Happy Holidays!
