I wanted to thank all of you for working with me during this interim time with room reservations. It has been fun to work with you throughout the past few weeks. However, we have hired a new site coordinator, and she will be handling room reservations from now on. Her name is Emily Maynard, and you can contact her by e-mail (emaynard@georgefox.edu) or phone (ext. 6164)

Emily will be handling any room reservations, but I will still be handling the technology request. Please remember to get all room reservations and technology requests in by 1 p.m. the prior business day that it is needed.

Again, thank you for working with me.

Faculty: Please go to our store website (gfubookstore.com) and check to make sure your textbooks are listed correctly for each of your courses. This is what students use to purchase books. Please help me catch any mistakes before it’s too late to fix them. Any missing courses means I don’t have an order from you and need those A.S.A.P.

E-mail me at sgidding@georgefox.edu with any questions or changes. Thanks for your help.

Peter DePaoli of Reclaiming Victory Ministries in Tigard will speak at the Tuesday, July 24, monthly Newberg meeting of the Christian Chamber of Commerce of the Northwest. The meeting is from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in the Villa Academic Complex.

DePaoli is the executive director and co-founder, with his wife, Toni, of the Tigard-based Reclaiming Victory Ministries.
