   Remember the "White Elephant" holiday party of 1994? Well, hold on to your Old Spice because IT’S BAAACCKK!! Join us for a very Merry FHA Holiday Potluck on Saturday, December 21, 6 pm, at the home of Tom and Joe. "White Elephant" means you bring a gift (don’t forget to wrap it!) which basically has no monetary value but will cause lots of laughs. At the party, you pick from the pile of "mystery" gifts based on which number you pull out of a hat, and you go home with a present that no one would ever want! Bring a covered dish to share (Tom and Joe are providing a baked ham and soda), and don’t forget your gift!

For more specific locations to some of the venues listed above, please email Deb.

DIVERSITY Quilt

Come and join the fun and fellowship as we piece together diversity in a quilt!! We are making a quilt composed of squares that express cultural customs, themes, morals, and meanings. We would love to have you input, insight, suggestions, and participation!! You don’t have to know how to sew; just bring your thoughts and ideas and we’ll help you with the rest. Most materials will be supplied. There are a limited number of squares, so hurry while they last.

Kansas Rainbow Listserv is Now On-Line
The Kansas Rainbow Listserv (KR-L) is now up and running. KR-L has over one-hundred email subscribers with representation from all Kansas Regent’s universities and Washburn. Non-university subscribers come from as far away as Italy and Australia; a few subscribers are Kansas alumni who live in other parts of the United States.
KR-L replaces the former mq (which was Manhattan specific) and the former kqn (Equality Kansas) listservs. KR-L is non-moderated, which means that subscribers can post freely post messages and initiate discussion on various issues.
Manhattan subscribers are urged to remember that KR-L is NOT Manhattan specific; therefore, in order to trim the growing volume of posts on KR-L, postings concerning Manhattan/KSU meetings and parties should be sent to bgls@ksu.edu.
Anyone interested in subscribing to KR-L may contact Deb at dtaylor@debtaylor.com.

This is the last issue of the Flint Hills Observer for 1996. The Observer staff thanks you for your support, and we wish you a Happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year. See you in 1997!!
