    When it snows, you have two options: go shopping or build a snow
    man. If you’re thinking of tossing out old winter clothes, don’t!
    Remember winter is also the season of giving! Donate winter coats,
    hats, scarves, and gloves, and more for families arriving through
    IRIS’s resettlement program. Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Service
    (IRIS) is a program that helps resettle refugees to Connecticut. We
    are looking for men’s, women’s, and children’s clothes in all items.
    We are accepting clothing donations until December 9th.

    It's been a stressful few months, and finals are around the corner.

    band to bring the beachy vibe to the bitter New England winter
    because we all know vacation is way better than finals (or grading

    In the busyness of December, we could all use a time to sit back and
    enjoy some beautiful music! We will be taking a group to go see the
    Institute of Sacred Music's annual Advent Concert, complete with a
    brief talk before the concert about the Advent season. If you enjoy

    Enjoy some delicious cookies and hot cocoa while making homemade

*Fellows' Tips of the Week*

    *Amanda and Lucas' Social Tip of the Week*
    If you're staying in town for the break, take advantage of the lull
    in your schedule and the absence of undergrads to try some of the
    tasty new places that have opened up in town this semester. Warm up
    with a bowl of ramen at Mecha, the new noodle bar on Crown Street,
    or treat yourself to a gourmet donut at Donut Crazy on York Street.
    If you're meeting freinds, try Beer Collective, a bar on Court
    Street offering an impressive list of craft brews, or House of Naan,
    an Indian-fusion restaurant on Howe Street with an amazing happy
    hour. Happy exploring! 

    *Geehee and Silin's International Tip of the Week*
    Enjoy Thanksgiving from the place where it all started - right here
    in New England! If you are in the mood to explore outside of CT, try
    driving to Plimoth Plantation <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.plimoth.org_&d=CwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=Bit-C3wARhe8zFi5Fqh7WqPfVkCOKbQ3dAsuCp009Akgt0bOjAWu5z7cHWo86Q2I&m=LsoZbw2G5xr09xEvY9CHNYeNM2gXa4Wh3VGUpHVpOJY&s=kIy7I3vk5EHvi0ARJRRHxjG1Z6hW23UfgejKOPFX4qA&e= >, in
    Massachusetts. They have recreated history with costumed
    interpreters that show a glimpse of the life of New England’s
    earliest Pilgrim settlers and the Wampanoag native peoples! Or ttay
    within the boundaries of CT with a trip to Mystic, where you can
    gather around the river to watch Santa arrive (a little early) at
    Mystic’s Holiday Lighted Boat Parade
    <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.mysticchamber.org_events_holiday-2Devents&d=CwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=Bit-C3wARhe8zFi5Fqh7WqPfVkCOKbQ3dAsuCp009Akgt0bOjAWu5z7cHWo86Q2I&m=LsoZbw2G5xr09xEvY9CHNYeNM2gXa4Wh3VGUpHVpOJY&s=oXsn0BxD31FccEjzqFv6F4FVEagzqGx2CSyzKKtoHkw&e= > on 11/26! 

    *Eileen and Ceren's Health and Wellness Tip of the Week*
    Mark your calendars: Stress Down Day is coming soon! On Tuesday
    12/13 from 11am-3pm, take a break and let loose with chair massages,
    scrumptious treats, and relaxing activities -- all thanks to Student
    Wellness at Yale Health! Check out the Facebook page

    See you there! 

    *Connor, Jenn, and Yuan's Family Life Tip of the Week*
    Though Thanksgiving is lovely, it might also be challenging for
    parents who need to fill up their kids' days when schools are closed
    for the holiday. The New Haven Public Library might be of some help!
    They are holding many fun activities including a Thanksgiving Story
    and Craft Time on Sat. Nov. 26 at 3:00pm-4:00pm in the Main library
    branch at 133 Elm St. Check it out here.
