Hey guys! Below is a message with information about Mistletoe Mingle coming up next week. I would highly encourage you to attend if you're able to- it's a great way to celebrate the end of the semester!

Message from Eddie Mueller (P2): Hello everyone! The Holiday Season is in full swing and with the end of the school year comes the annual Mistletoe Mingle. This year the event will be held at the Science Center of Iowa downtown on December 7th from 7-11pm. As this event acts as a social gathering off campus for all CPHS members, we hope the fresh setting will provide new life to the evening. Tickets are now available to purchase for $15 at https://squareup.com/store/drakedrxugs/ with DRxUGS, Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Chi, Lambda Kappa Sigma, and HOSA members getting discounted tickets for $10. You are welcome to purchase tickets for guests that are not a part of the college as well for $15. A ticket purchase gets you two drink tickets, Hy-Vee catering, and free busing to and from the event (departure times posted on the ticket website and Facebook event page). Pay-for parking is also available in the Science Center parking garage as well. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]. We hope to see you all there for a night of drinks, dinosaurs, and holiday cheer!
