Parties, the giving spirit
brighten holidays for many
Holiday parties, efforts for giving, so much happening! This year, contributions to area K9s, the local Food Bank and families of sick children were all a part the way the college and the UF Veterinary Hospitals made the holidays a little brighter for others. A collegewide party was held at the new Straughn Center and featured barbecue fare as well as a photo booth. A good time was definitely had by all.
