The university’s theatre department invites the community to the show Living Out, playing at the Chehalem Cultural Center’s Black Box Theater (415 E. Sheridan St.) on Friday and Saturday, April 20-21, at 7:30 p.m. both evenings.
Living Out tells the story of a Salvadoran nanny and the Anglo lawyer she works for. The play explores what is the shared humanity between them and the differences wrought by race, class and Ana’s immigration status. The play also looks at the prejudices and misconceptions between Anglos and Latinos. How do we make someone “the other”? What is the cost of doing so? The play is both outrageously funny and ultimately tragic.
Tickets are “pay what you want” at the door (no reservations). Contact JeanneAnn Faris (jfaris15@georgefox.edu) for more information.
After 40 years of service to George Fox, Clyde Thomas, the director of Plant Services, will be retiring in June. However, we didn’t want him to leave without giving people a chance to celebrate his accomplishments.
A time of honoring his service to the campus will follow the all-employee meeting on Thursday, April 19, at 4:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons. Don’t miss this special time as we say “thank you” to Clyde.
Do you know a student who may benefit – or have family members that may benefit – from access to fresh produce as well as staple foods (rice, pasta, tortillas, canned vegetables, etc.)?
If so, keep Newberg FISH in mind as a resource. FISH provides food assistance in a respectful way to all those who come in and voice a need. They have a rule that they never turn anyone away.
To be eligible for a full food basket (with USDA food) there are some basic income restrictions, and a student must live in Newberg or Dundee. However, even students who do not meet these standards are eligible to receive the non-USDA food selection available at FISH.
A student simply needs to take a piece of his or her mail to the office. No Social Security numbers or intrusive personal details are collected. All FISH materials are available in English and Spanish.
To learn more about FISH, visit their website at newbergfish.org or write info@newbergfish.org. The office is located at 125-A S. Elliott Road in Newberg.
