The aroma of freshly baked cookies will once again drift through the MultiCultural Center (MCC) on Nov. 15 as Staff Assembly sponsors its third annual Staff Cookie Bake-Off. Before readying the two dozen cookies that are required for entry, competitors need to contact Martha Olsen (martha.olsen@sa.ucsb.edu) for the details.

The deadline for informing Olsen of your entry is 4 p.m. on Nov. 8. There is no entry fee and there are multiple categories to compete for prizes. Go to <www.staffassembly.ucsb.edu/more.htm> to see an example of a prize-winning cookie recipe.
