Dear Georgetown Law Community,

It is hard to believe, but Thanksgiving has passed and the holiday season is here!  Please note the following community announcements:

Holiday Tacky Sweater Competition Reminder

As advertised in the Community Holiday Party "save the date", the Tacky Sweater Contest is back for its second year.  Be ready to vote for the "best of the worst" at the party on December 8.  The tacky sweater parade and judging will occur at 2:00 p.m.  Based on the rumors and murmurs in the halls, this should be quite a show.  Thank you to our colleagues in special events for arranging trophies for the "top 3" and to Marcia Shannon for agreeing to emcee.

Holiday Decoration Contest

Also in its second year, the holiday decoration contest is back!  Judging will occur on December 18 and is tentatively scheduled for 11:00 a.m.  Individuals, offices and groups are welcome to compete and registration information will be forthcoming next week.
