Announcements:
1. Holiday food drive:  
Tis the season of giving and we will be participating in a residency wide food drive this year! The Internal Medicine chiefs have placed a box in our resident lounge. From now until December 1st, you can bring in any non-perishable food items you would like to donate to the RI Food Bank. On December 1st, the boxes will be picked up and counted. They are hoping to stir up some friendly competition among peds, medicine, and ER. Thanks for participating!

2. Holiday giving tree: 
Children's 4 and 6 would like to announce a Holiday Giving Tree to benefit homeless persons in Rhode Island. Pick an ornament from the tree, purchase the gift item listed on the ornament, and return the gift to Cheryl, Maria, Stacy, or Emily. All gifts must be received by December 22nd at 3pm. Thanks!

November 22nd
Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, The Vets
From the mind of Stephen King and the music of John Mellencamp, "GHOST BROTHERS of Darkland County" takes the audience on a haunting tale filled with fraternal love, lust, jealousy, and revenge. The story goes that Joe McCandless saw his two older brothers battle over a girl which ended in the unfortunate deaths of all three. Now as an adult, with two boys of his own, he's watching an all too similar scenario play out before his eyes. Only one person knows exactly what happened the night of the tragedy. Will Joe bring himself to tell the truth in time to save his own sons? Find out whether the ghosts left behind will help him-or tear the McCandless family apart forever. http://www.vmari.com/
