During lunch, children got the chance to give Santa their wish lists. Santa later visited kids at the Child Development Center to hand out presents donated by IVC employees. Hewitt said playing Santa was most enjoyable for him, and this year s program was one of the most successful. At a pre-holiday potluck December 13, IVC staff and faculty witnessed the alarming disappearance of freshly caught Albacore, Ahi Ahi and Yellowtail tuna in the Gymnasium quad. The fish, caught by IVC lead electrician and angler-extraordinaire Mike Boquet, quickly vanished from the outdoor grill at a barbeque that has become a perennial favorite.
Employees anticipate the barbeques as an opportunity to mingle with old friends and meet new staff.
In addition to the fish entrees, employees donated salads, rice, pasta, chicken, bread, cookies and drinks. The Fish Fry was organized by Joy Rosa. Artists Janice Lowry, Scott McMillin and Dave Newman will exhibit their new assemblage and collage works beginning February 26. Art Director Mark Leysen is curator of the gallery and is a part-time faculty member in the Fine Arts department. Kids Coming to Campus IVC will again be the site of KinderCaminata, and event held at Orange County community colleges to promote higher education to our youngest elementary students.
