Please sign up to join us on Monday, December 6th at 3PM in the Eddy Street Cafe for our second ever UR Cookie Exchange! Please identify what cookie you plan on sharing, as well as if you have any allergies. To help keep our gathering self, please separate your cookies into separate plastic bags (about 6 cookies per bag) so other participants need only to grab a bag. Please indicate whether you’re able to join by Wednesday, December 1 so that we know how many cookies are needed. Happy Baking!

Please help us honor the life of Margot Witous, daughter of Jess Witous, by donating new or gently used mittens, hats, scarves, or coats to the Christ Child Society of South Bend throughout the month of November.

Mishawaka, IN 46545 or in one of the collection bins at our Eddy or Grace Hall offices starting later this week.

Dear Colleagues,

This Sunday, November 14, an email will be sent to approximately 25K entities who are 70 1/2 or older to remind them that they can make an impact at Notre Dame this year and reduce their tax liability through an IRA Charitable Rollover. Recipients will also have the opportunity to download our revised IRA Charitable Rollover and Tax Strategies for 2021 Charitable Giving brochures.

If you have any questions regarding this communication, please contact Laura Walker.

Consider these awesome options:

Meghan Sullivan’s Book: The Good Life Method
Meghan Sullivan, Wilsey Family College Professor of Philosophy and Director of NDIAS, has a new book “The Good Life Method” coming out on January 4 (co-authored with ND philosopher Paul Blaschko). It’s based on her legendary “God and the Good Life” class. We anticipate the book will make a big splash, and Penguin is going all out with its promotion. The book is a love letter to Notre Dame and the formation we offer to our students, and the thousands of students who have taken the class have had a huge part in shaping the book.

We’re making an advanced order of the books and would like to invite you to consider it as a Christmas gift for your benefactors. We are pleased to be able to offer you the book at a price of $17 (list price is $28). NDIAS can assist you to make a journal transfer from your budget FOAPAL to pay for your order. Books are scheduled to be delivered the first week of December to the NDIAS and we will then deliver them to you at the Eddy Street Development office.

Please fill out this form to let us know how many copies you’d like to order. We ask you to complete the form by November 2. Please let Karen Deak know if you have any questions, and thank you!
