Centennial events wrap up the year
|
|
December is upon us already, with just a few more centennial celebrations before the year's end. Throughout 2017, we've held more than 50 events with hundreds of volunteers and thousands of participants.
|
As the centennial planning committee chair, I want to thank everyone in #NanookNation for your enthusiasm in celebrating this major milestone for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ.
|
I'm looking forward to a relaxing holiday break, and I hope you all are, too. Read on to learn about the remaining events to mark ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ's 100th year, and please join us if you can.
