Campus delivery of Christmas trees, poinsettias to begin Nov. 21

The Grounds Office is encouraging departments across campus look ahead to the holidays.

If your department has a Christmas tree in storage and the department has not moved offices during the year, your tree will be delivered to you with no action necessary on your part.

If your office has a Christmas tree in storage, but the office has moved since last year, call the Grounds Office at ext. 2-5465 to provide a new address. If your office needs a new tree, call Terry Hatch at ext. 2-7001 for procedures regarding the purchase of a tree.

The Grounds Office will begin delivering trees on Monday, Nov. 21. Please order any new trees as soon as possible and make certain your address information is correct before that date to ensure proper delivery. In addition, please clear the space in your office where you would like your tree assembled.

After Nov. 28, call 592-3940 for late tree set-up.

Poinsettias will also be available for on-campus use during the holiday season. Red, white or pink poinsettias are $6.50 each and come in six-inch pots.

To order a poinsettia, print out a Physical Facilities Poinsettia Work Request form at plantwo.byu.edu/pform.htm. Please specify the number and color of poinsettias desired.

Orders for poinsettias must be received by Nov. 4. Submit your order by fax to ext. 2-0271, or by campus mail to BYU Grounds Office/PPGO. Poinsettias will be delivered the week of Nov. 28. For additional information about poinsettias, call Jenilyn at ext. 2-5509.

It’s been said that angry tears are salty and happy tears are sweet. Whether or not that’s actually the case, it is true that not all tears are the same.
