Coach Manning: Faculty-staff appreciation day set for Dec. 22

This message was e-mailed to faculty and staff today on behalf of Coach Danny Manning:

Dear Faculty and Staff:

In the last year and a half, our staff and families have come to love and enjoy Wake Forest.  It is truly a special place and we want to thank you for all that you do to support not only our men’s basketball team but our entire athletics department.

Next Tuesday, December 22 we host a nationally-ranked Xavier basketball team in the Skip Prosser Classic and I want to invite you to attend the game with your family.

Wake Forest Athletics is offering free tickets and t-shirts to faculty and staff members and their families.  The game is set for 7 p.m. at LJVM Coliseum.

Tickets will be distributed starting at 5:30 p.m. at tables marked Faculty/Staff in the coliseum’s main lobby at the east entrance.  Staff and faculty may come to the tables and show their Wake Forest ID card to request the number of tickets needed for their family.  Athletics staff will distribute tickets at that time.

I hope to see you at the game.

Go Deacs!

Coach Danny Manning
