As we head into November, I am looking forward to spending time with friends and family over a meal this Thanksgiving. To make sure we can all share in this important tradition, I am asking for your help.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Recently, instructor Kristy McDonald invited me to a business communications class to see their experiential learning project in action. These students are improving their professional communication skills, while serving the community, by organizing a project to provide 125 Thanksgiving meals to NMC students and local families who need a little extra help this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They believe everyone should get to experience Thanksgiving, and with our help, we can help make this come true. They are asking us \u2013 the NMC family \u2013 to join in the efforts. You can donate as an individual, or join together with your classmates or co-workers to share in the spirit of gratitude! The class is asking us to help them collect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mini Marshmallows (125 bags)<\/li>\n<li>Cranberry Sauce (125 cans)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Red collection bins will be located on main campus at the Innovation Center, Osterlin Student Success Center and at Parsons-Stulen on the Aeropark Campus.<\/p>\n<p>There are other ways you can help too! The class is looking to make an even greater impact by also raising money. All of the funds raised will go towards the 125 meals. Any additional funds raised will support the NMC Food pantry or be used towards next year&#8217;s project. Every donation will be matched up to $5,000! And you might even win a trip to the Great Wolf Lodge by donating.

I admire these students&#8217; desire to help others this Thanksgiving. Please join me in supporting this effort.
