The Daily Bruin

Wednesday, July 5, is “George Fox Night” at the Portland Timbers! Join other Bruin alumni, parents, friends, employees and students for a fun-filled evening of soccer at downtown Portland’s historic Providence Park. Our reserved seats in the Widmer Brothers Southern Front offer a close-up view of the game.

Tickets include stadium snacks like popcorn, roasted peanuts, potato chips, gourmet macaroni and cheese, barbecue meatballs, and fresh-baked cookies, as well as soda and bottled water.

Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased here. Contact Robby Larson (rlarson@georgefox.edu) with any questions.

We hope you can join us!

Please be considerate of our guests for Summer Visit Day today (Friday) by avoiding parking in the Hoover and Stevens parking lots. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Kelly Friesen at kfriesen@georgefox.edu or ext. 2248.

They are here! Mail Services has the limited-edition first-class “Eclipse” stamps. These stamps are really cool! They are heat sensitive, so when you press your finger onto the stamp, the heat will cause the moon to show on the stamp. Once the heat cools down, the eclipse will reappear.

There are 16 stamps per sheet, and the cost is $7.84. These stamps will not last long, so get a piece of history while supplies last!

Thanks,
Mail Services

As part of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, George Fox library patrons enjoy access to materials at 39 member libraries, with items being delivered via a courier to both Newberg and Portland campuses five days a week. In order to improve delivery and turnaround times, the Alliance is transitioning to a new courier service this summer.

During the transition to the new system, Summit deliveries will be delayed for items requested from June 26 to July 5. Summit requests can still be made during this period, but those items will be delivered after July 5.

We highly recommend placing orders for Summit materials ASAP, in order to get them before the delays are in effect. Thank you for your patience during this process as we transition to a new courier service. We look forward to being able to provide improved service going forward!

Questions about your Summit requests? Please contact the circulation department.

Plant Services will be trimming trees and doing other overhead work with a high lift through the end of the month. Please be aware as you are walking through campus so that you do not walk through these areas.

The areas will be marked, and parking areas will be cordoned off the day before work progresses in that area. For your safety and that of your vehicle, do not park or walk in areas that have been reserved.

Thank you,
