Arkansas Alumni Association to Host 2021 Jingle Mingle for Faculty and Staff
The Arkansas Alumni Association will host its annual Workin' Like a Hog Jingle Mingle presented by WealthPath Financial Advisors on Tuesday, Dec. 7. This year's celebration, "Back in Plaid," will take place from 4:30-6 p.m. at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House.
End your busy semester with a hot cocoa and coffee bar, delicious food from Ozark Catering, door prizes, photo booth and a special gift from Timeless Tartans as the association shows appreciation for their dues-paying members. Attendees will also have a chance to vote for the 2022 Workin' Like a Hog T-shirt design at the event. Members must be present to vote.
Discounted membership rates ($35) and payroll-deduction payments are available for university employees. A portion of every membership helps to fund the association's $1 million-plus annual student scholarship program. Additional benefits include a subscription to Arkansas magazine, access to exclusive alumni networking opportunities and nationwide member discounts.
Participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable food and paper products to be donated to local not-for-profit group, Faith in Action. Faith in Action is a volunteer-based organization providing homebound seniors with free non-medical services to help promote their independence, dignity and quality of life.
The Arkansas Alumni House will be open to attendees during the event. Masks are required. Due to COVID-19 protocol, space will be limited, and attendees must be a member to attend.
