An information program on "Surviving A New England Winter" will take place on Thursday, Nov. 4.

The program will begin with "Cold Clinic," offered by the University Health Services (YUHS) from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the McDougal Center, Hall of Graduate Studies, 320 York Street. YUHS staff will talk about cold care prevention and have "cold kits" to give away. The Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) will provide a handout on "Tips For Surviving A New England Winter." Light refreshments will be served. Winter apparel will be made available to those in need after the clinic.
Members of the community who wish to make a donation may do so before Wednesday, Nov. 3, at OISS, 246 Church St., Suite 201; McDougal Center, 320 York St.; or Jet Cleaners, 687 State St.
"Surviving A New England Winter" is co-sponsored by the OISS, the McDougal Center and YUHS.

The Yale Bookstore will join with Literacy Volunteers of Greater New Haven and People's Bank to sponsor "The People's Bank Sunday Scrabble for Literacy," a monthly event to play competitive Scrabble games and learn about ways to help increase the literacy rate in the community.
The first game will be held on Sunday, Nov. 7, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., at the Yale Bookstore, 77 Broadway. The sponsors hope that the games will encourage individuals to discuss the issue of literacy and become involved in the effort to reach a goal of 100% literacy.
To participate, individuals should send an e-mail to scrabble@lvagnh.org with their name, address, phone number and the dates they prefer to play. Other games in the series are scheduled for Dec. 5, Jan. 9, Feb. 6, March 6, April 3 and May 1.
