The Daily Bruin

I can’t thank everyone enough for all of the cards, flowers, support and prayers during the past several weeks since my son’s death. I can feel all of you holding me up during this difficult time.

A celebration of life service will be held at 6 p.m. Sunday, June 27, at the Northside Community Church, located at the corner of Crestview Drive and Hoskins Street. Contributions can be made to a memorial fund at Attrell’s Funeral Home to help defray costs. A private graveside service will be held for family and friends at 3 p.m. at the Yamhill Pike cemetery on Sunday, June 27.

We are expecting a large number of new students and their families for Genesis Thursday through Saturday, June 17-19. Would you please help welcome them to our campus by sacrificing your parking spots in the Hoover, Stevens and Wood-Mar lots during these three days? There are lots of parking spaces in the Pennington and Bauman lots, and the campus side of Meridian and Sheridan streets are also good options.

We also have a large group arriving for the weekend on Friday afternoon, so parking will be quite busy for the next few days. Please also pass this on to your summer student workers. Thank you in advance for helping us to graciously welcome our new students!
