Thanksgiving Day and Holiday Shopping Tips
On Thanksgiving Day Americans gather with their families to have a feast and remember what they are thankful for. Most businesses are closed for the holiday. However, the day after Thanksgiving is the biggest bargain shopping day of the year! Many people wake up early to catch the best deals! Check your newspaper for ads from various shopping malls and your favorite department stores, and check out the link below! Beware of the huge crowds and be prepared for long lines! http://www.nwsource.com/shopping/holiday-sales-bring-big-bargains-seattle

Introducing: Tiffany Hayes
Assistant Director of Community Development at CCA
Hi everyone! My name is "Tiff", and I am excited to introduce myself to you. I am the new Assistant Director of Community Development at CCA. I spend half my week in the office at CCA and the other half in the Student Life Office on the 2nd floor of the student center. My job is to encourage residents and students to get involved at CCA and to make sure we do everything we can to make CCA a great place to live! So please feel free to come talk to me about what you like, what you think we could change, and any ideas you have for events, activities, or programs. I was a CLEO student here at GRCC 4 years ago, before transferring to Western WA Univ. and graduating with my degree in Communication. I'm very happy to be back at Green River, now as a staff member. Stop by and say hello when you have a chance :)
