[Rodriguez Lorta, Nancy G - (nancyr)]

Greetings Agvisors:
 Happy Friday!  The Fall 2016 Agvisors Retreat will be held on Tuesday December 13th from 9:00am-3:00pm.   It will take place off campus at La Mariposa Resort<http://lamariposaresort.com/index.html> located at 1501 N. Houghton Rd. Tucson, AZ 85749.  It is a little over 12 miles from campus (~35 minute drive).  Morning snacks will be provided, with a catered mid-day lunch from the facility.
We have a full agenda inclusive of workshops and presentations. One of the workshops (StrengthsQuest) may require advance preparation which will be sent via email next week.  The second workshop will be led by Jennifer Yamnitz, Executive Director of Marketing and Branding, on major department marketing.  CAS Associate Dean Michael Staten will join us in the afternoon.  We will have round robin announcements and updates as well.
To obtain a head count please inform Maria Bueno (mbueno at email.arizona.edu<mailto:mbueno at email.arizona.edu>) on your attendance plans no later than Friday 12/9 at noon.

1.       White Cow gift exchange:

As part of the December retreat this year, we'll be having a "White-Cow" Gift Exchange (same thing as a White Elephant). Participation is optional. If you wish to participate, please bring a wrapped gift, cost ranging from $5-$10 for the exchange. Outrageous, ridiculous, and re-gifted gifts are acceptable and encouraged.
If you have not experienced a White Elephant/White Cow Gift Exchange before, the way it works is:

1)      Everyone brings a wrapped gift.

2)      People draw numbers to determine the order in which they choose and open a gift.

3)      Starting with the second person, you can either choose to steal someone else's gift, or to open a new gift. The person who had their gift stolen opens a new gift.

4)      This continues down the line until the last person opens their gift. As you can imagine, it can get quite entertaining.
2. Cookie/Bar exchange:

All are welcome to bring 6 cookies/bars to exchange for another 6 cookies/bars that someone else will bring.  Thanks for considering!
Look forward to a productive and entertaining retreat.  Keep me posted if you have any questions.  Enjoy your weekend.
Best,
Nancy
