As we can imagine, some of you will have withdrawals just reading this, as it targets the core of the way we live our lives today. For 125 total points this week, give up your online devices after work. This means to complete this challenge successfully, after your work day is done, no extra computer usage.
The only exception is for employees who are taking classes and need to utilize the computer for classwork.

Unlike several of our peer institutions, George Fox currently has no partnership with a daycare facility near campus. Friendsview Retirement Community (next to campus) is exploring the idea of creating a daycare center.
Friendsview needs your help to determine the level of interest from George Fox students/employees in using the daycare service and in volunteering to ensure it is well-staffed. Click here to take the survey.
In addition to providing a paid service, Friendsview wishes to offer George Fox students the opportunity to earn daycare credit by working alongside volunteers and daycare coordinators. To make the daycare center well-staffed for each school/work day, a sufficient number of volunteers/credit earners will be needed.
The benefits of volunteering in the daycare include firsthand experience related to a class or future career and personal enrichment as you support the George Fox community. If you are interested in serving in this capacity, please click the link above.
Questions? Contact Corban Harwood at rharwood@georgefox.edu.

Join us for a special theatre production, Falling, playing in Wood-Mar Auditorium tonight (Saturday). The show begins at 7:30 p.m.
This show is about a day in the life of a family with a severely autistic son and the delicate balance that is tested when a family member from out of town comes to visit. Each family member tries to find equilibrium between what’s best for the family and what is best for themselves.
According to the playwright, “The play bravely speaks a truth about love and family and about hopes and dreams. It asks, ‘How do you love someone who is difficult to love?'”
Tickets are $3. The production is directed, designed and performed by students. Please join us in listening to and experiencing this story this weekend only!

At the end of every school year many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer, including blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.
In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of the resources, Phase II was initiated. We are happy to receive reusable items that students do not want to take home starting on April 22 and going through May 2 at 4 p.m.
The items gathered are sorted and made available to summer students and staff, with the remainder of the items being given to different organizations in the local area, such as Rescue Mission, Unwed Mothers Homes, Love Inc., and Goodwill.
Barrels will be placed in or near central living areas …
Please look for and use these barrels as you prepare to leave at the end of school.
There are large drop boxes for your trash located strategically on campus. By law, computers, monitors and TVs cannot go into the trash. They can be place beside the barrels. Please note if it is broken.
Questions? Contact Dwayne Astleford (dastlefo@georgefox.edu).
Thank you,
Phase II Committee

If you have found items around campus, and have yet to turn them in to the lost and found, please get them to the security office as soon as possible so that the owners can claim them before the end of the month.
If you have lost items this spring, please be sure to check for them at security before you leave for the summer. When checking out of your on-campus residence, please do a thorough search of your dressers, closets and kitchens, as custodians found a large amount of forgotten items when cleaning the rooms last May.
Any left-behind items will not be kept all summer, as the lost and found isn’t large enough to store them for four months. All items not claimed by their owners will be donated to charitable causes on Monday, May 1, so please stop by the security office during the next three weeks!
Questions? Contact Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.
