The Daily Bruin

Eating healthy doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Join Providence Basecamp this month as we discuss shopping tricks and kitchen tips to help keep you on track with your diet and finances.

Join Kayla, a registered dietitian from the Community Teaching Kitchen (CTK), on Wednesday, June 12, from noon to 12:30 p.m. as she teaches us how to build grocery list on a budget without losing nutrition or taste.

Then, join in on Monday, June 17, from noon to 1 p.m. for a live demonstration as registered dietitian Jamie prepares a summer strawberry bowl.

Registration is free but necessary for first-time participants. Use this link to register for either session.

Spring is quickly coming to an end and summer is just about here. If you have not planned your summer activities, check out LifeBalance’s 2024 Summer Guide, which features discounts on a wide range of activities, experiences, travel, lodging, outdoor gear and more.

It’s a great way to have fun this summer with family and friends without breaking the bank.

The university’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) group is fundraising for a trip to ICON 2024 in Anaheim, California, and we could use your support!

ICON 2024 is an international conference where student clubs from around the world meet to learn more from each other and pursue potential connections and opportunities.

We are selling Butter Braid pastries and Wooden Spoon cookie dough until Tuesday, June 18, to raise funds for the trip. Please use this link to order, or contact Stefani Peden at speden21@georgefox.edu to submit an order.

Please join us in the Bridge Cafe for our weekly patio specials. We are adding another day! On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we will be cooking up specials out on the patio.

This week, our specials are:

• Tuesday: Grilled cheese sandwich, with the option to add beef birria
• Wednesday: Build your own pasta bar
• Thursday: Smoked chopped brisket sandwich

We will also have the “Bridge Barbecue” with hamburgers and hot dogs. The GET Mobile App is set up for summer, allowing you to order the patio special ahead if you are short on time.

If you have any questions, please email Katie Anderson at andersonk@georgefox.edu.

We hope you had an opportunity to spend last weekend outdoors with your family and/or friends and experience peace. As part of our “Peace in Motion” initiative, we encouraged you to take photos and capture peace around you. You can submit your photo here for a chance to win a $50 REI gift card.

Homeownership starts well before the contracts are signed; preparation is one of the keys to a smooth home-buying process.

In an upcoming Canopy session, “Becoming a Homeowner,” we’ll cover all major pre-purchase topics such as budgeting, the down payment, credit reports, debt-to-income ratios, and the mortgage lending process.

Reserve a seat here. The webinar will be presented twice – at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 4, and at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 13.
