The Daily Bruin

You are invited to stay after the all-employee meeting today (Thursday) to honor Clyde Thomas, director of Plant Services. After 40 years of service to George Fox, Clyde will be retiring in June, but we didn’t want him to leave without giving people a chance to celebrate his accomplishments. We will have a retirement party today for him at 4:30 p.m. in Canyon Commons.

Don’t miss this special time as we say “thank you” to Clyde.

The clock is ticking to pick up your lost items at the security office! All items not claimed by their owners by Monday, April 30 will be donated to charitable causes that day, so be sure to stop by before you leave school next week. We are sure that you are going to need your notebooks, textbooks and water bottles for finals next week, so come on by!

Staff & Faculty: Please turn in all “found” items to the security office soon so students can have a fair chance at retrieving their lost items before leaving school next week. Thank you!

Questions? Contact Nadine Kincaid.

Please plan now for the institution-wide stationery order taken at the end of August. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.

I will be accepting orders from now through Thursday, Aug. 23, when orders are due.

For order instructions, go to the marketing communications website. Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterhead”) through the university’s print services office.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you,
– Danette Newkirk (dnewkirk@georgefox.edu)
