Peanut delivery delay
The UGA Agronomy Club received more than 400 orders for peanuts this year, mostly from campus. Because the supplier had to delay delivery, orders were not available to pickup Nov. 13-15 as originally arranged. As soon as a new pickup date is confirmed, it will be posted on the club’s Web site, www.cropsoil.uga.edu/AgrClub.html.

Museum gift registry
The museum shop at the Georgia Museum of Art is offering a gift registry through Dec. 23. Museum visitors can sign up for the service by asking a shop staff member for an index card and providing your name and a few shop items you would like to receive. Those who register may purchase any one item at a 25 percent discount; those who use the registry to purchase gifts will receive a 15 percent discount.

Deadline for submissions is Jan. 11. Participants will be selected by Feb. 1 and final papers will be due Feb. 23. The symposium is scheduled for March 1.
