Kudos to the staff, faculty and adjuncts who have already registered their vehicles on the new database located on MyGFU! However, security is still seeing the white hang tags and adjunct hang tags on staff cars that expire this Christmas. Please take five minutes to hop onto MyGFU and click on the Vehicle Registration link underneath “GFU Resources.” You will need your insurance or vehicle registration card in front of you when you register.

If you want to purchase additional permits for $5 cash each for additional vehicles, please bring your money and vehicle information to the security office and we will register those additional cars on site. If you want to just switch your one gratis hang tag between your vehicles, then please register them one right after the other.

For the mailing address portion, please put “414 N. Meridian St. Newberg, OR 97132” with your campus PO box number on the second line. All permits will be delivered to you via campus mail; they will not be mailed to a home address. Portland employees need register only if they do regular business on the Newberg campus.

Don’t forget to join us tonight (Monday) for a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues presentation by Doug Fountain of Medical Teams International. He will speak on “Upgrading Health Care in Africa: Lessons from Ebola for the Future of Missions” from 5 to 6 p.m. and again from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.

Ebola shocked the world and led to a scramble to make up for years of neglect in health services in three countries in West Africa. Fountain will discuss this and similar outbreaks in East Africa and identify new roles for Christian missions. His presentation is the fourth in the “Majority World and the West” series.

Questions? Contact Ron Mock at ext. 2680 or rmock@georgefox.edu.

Many congregations engage in some sort of social service delivery that addresses issues of poverty. However, what they do and why they do it varies greatly.

Join us at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1, in Hoover 105. The event is free and open to the public. Mark’s visit is being made possible with support from the Center for Peace and Justice.
