Faculty & Staff Pub Thursday October 18th

Congratulations on surviving another semester startup! Please mark your calendars on October 18th for our annual fall staff and faculty pub. This year we'd like to change the venue to Pod B. Draft beer, wine and soft drinks will be available. Be there between 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Some of us will attempt to play euchre. Some will just want to stop by and say hello. Whatever suits you, suits us. Let Mary-Ellen know if you plan to attend so that she can order in the wings and pizza.
