The SEFA (State Employees Federated Appeal) planning committee currently is running two drives -- the Food and Pet Supply Drive through the end of this week (Friday, Dec. 2), and SUNY Oswego's 35th annual Toy Drive, through Wednesday, Dec. 7, with pickups on Dec. 8.

For the Food and Pet Supply Drive, SEFA asks you to consider bringing in non-perishable food items that will be donated to Human Concerns Food Pantry in Oswego and the Salvation Army, or pet supplies/food, which will be donated to Paws Across Oswego County and the Oswego Animal Shelter.

A memorial service and planetarium show at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1, will honor longtime planetarium director Scott Roby, who passed away recently (see campus announcement below).

Students, faculty, staff and others are invited to share remarks of their memories of Roby and his impact on their lives and studies. A brief planetarium show also will take place. The planetarium is located in 223 Shineman Center.
