A Chili Night in November

What better way to start November than with a bowl of chili? The Sustainability Committee brings back the highly acclaimed "Chili Night in November" on Wednesday, November 9th at 6pm in the Big Backyard. This year, we have invited our friends, the Emperor Penguins from March of the Penguins to show us how to enjoy the cold weather. Bring your blanket, a chair and your appetite!

I'm sure you were wondering, "What is the sustainable twist?" Thanks to our friends at Aramark, we have prepared a sustainable menu that invites you to enjoy either a vegetarian or meaty chili served in bread bowls. Don't forget to bring a napkin or wear a shirt you won't mind getting a little messy because no paper products will be available. How is that for sustainable?

You may also be thinking, "Why invite the penguins?" Not only is this great promo for their world debut in Happy Feet 2, coming to a theater near you on November 18th, but they too are affected by our sustainable efforts. Did you know that global warming melts sea ice and reduces the scope of their habitat? See more in TimePhotos' Global Warming Threatens Penguins.

So, what will you be doing on Wednesday, November 9?

Spending a "Chili Night in November" the best way you know how.

6pm, Big Backyard
