The raffle winner and up to two guests will attend a lunch with Jennings at a Kalamazoo location after the end of the Green Bay Packer football season April 28. A native and resident of Kalamazoo, Jennings was drafted by Green Bay in 2006.

United Way campaign wrap-up
With only less than a week of fundraising left in this year's campus United Way campaign, WMU is about 14 percent shy of its $300,000 goal. The drive continues through Friday, Nov. 11, and the campaign so far has collected more than $258,500.
Campaign results will be announced at a free and open event at 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18, in Room 210 of the Bernhard Center. President John M. Dunn will acknowledge campaign organizers and contributors, and light refreshments will be served. Also scheduled to speak is Ron Kitchens, chief executive officer of Southwest Michigan First.
