The Daily Bruin

Everyone is invited to the George Fox University Day of Prayer, scheduled for today (Monday, April 25). We ask you to set aside time that day to pray for our students, parents and the university.

For information on specific prayer requests, click here. If you would like to meet on campus, we will have a time set aside for prayer from noon to 1 p.m. in the Prayer Chapel. If you have any questions or prayer requests, contact the Office of Parent Relations at ext. 2134.

For those of us who were not at George Fox in 1965 when Heacock Commons and the current dining room was built, have you ever wondered what one of the first meals might have been? Have you ever thought how much lunch might have cost? Have you ever heard of the “Quaker Inn Cafe”? If the answer to any of these is yes, join us on Wednesday, April 27, for our “1965 Throwback Lunch” and you’ll discover what you missed 51 years ago!

We’ve rented a juke box spinning ’60s platters and will be featuring favorites like chicken a la king, bologna and egg salad sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, fruit cocktail and much, much more – all for the throwback price of $1.25 for all staff, faculty and commuters.

Bring your appetite and we’ll see you in Klages on Wednesday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Contact Denny Lawrence (dlawrence@georgefox.edu) or Lisa Miles (lmiles@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions.

Each year, the music department hosts the OSAA High School State Choir Competition, and we are currently needing volunteers to help keep the competition running smoothly. Jobs include door monitors, guides and assistants for some of the judges.

The competition is May 5-7, which is the Thursday, Friday and Saturday the week after graduation. Since it’s after school, this would be most ideal for students staying on campus for May Term or living nearby for the summer. Volunteers are needed all three days, and shifts go from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., from noon to 5 p.m., or all day.

Please contact Natalie Marquette at nmarquette12@georgefox.edu if you are interested!
