We will be cleaning out Wheeler Sports Center’s lockers in June. If you want to protect your locker and the things in it, e-mail Patty Findley (pfindley@georgefox.edu) with your locker number and we won’t cut the lock off and donate the contents to those less fortunate.

So you know, saying something like “three lockers in from the left side” doesn’t do it. I need a number.

Thank you,
Patty Findley

Financial Affairs reports that some counterfeit money is being handed out in the Newberg area. We had one in our deposit today and have no way to know where it came from. What we had was a $10 bill, but others could be around also.

The best way to tell is by holding the bill up to a light. There should be a narrow strip running from top to bottom of the bill and a picture of the president (only seen when held up to the light) on the side of the bill. We do not feel this was passed to us intentionally, but it should be something we all watch for.

If you have any questions, please contact Jan Amerson in Financial Affairs at ext. 2164.

With several guests visiting campus this week, please be considerate when parking. The Bauman lot will be the primary parking area for those attending the OSAA state choir competition through Saturday, so please use the Stevens or Wood-Mar lots.

Also, a Target commercial is being filmed on various locations on campus Thursday and Friday. Please leave the Pennington, Le Shana and Winters parking lots open for the crew’s trucks and vehicles.

About 50 members of a film crew will be on the Newberg campus Wednesday through Friday (May 4-6) to film a series of advertisements for Target. The video and still photography will be used in a back-to-school online advertising campaign in the fall.

The commercials were created by national ad firm Wieden+Kennedy and are being filmed by a local film company. They will be filming in the Klages Dining Hall, Bruin Den, Pennington Hall, Le Shana Hall and Winters Apartments. Please leave the Pennington, Le Shana and Winters parking lots open for their trucks and vehicles.

For more information, contact Rob Felton (503-554-2129).

Print Services will be closed on Friday, May 13, for partial remodel. Please submit jobs early in the week so that they can be completed before the closure.

Staff, faculty, May Term and summer workstudy students: Many of you have been wondering if Staff/Resident East/Resident West/Commuter parking lot restrictions still apply during May Term and the rest of the summer. During the summer, staff and faculty still need to park in the staff-only lots like Hoover, Wood-Mar, Stevens and around Minthorne and Mail Services.

The visitor rows in Hoover and Stevens need to always be kept free for the frequent visitors to campus. If there are spots available in the staff lots after the workday has begun, then students can potentially use those spots. However, there will be many times this summer when those empty spots will be needed for various groups and events happening on campus like the state choir competition this week, Genesis, Northwest Yearly Meeting, etc. We’d like to ask you to not park there when we have big events on campus.

If your summer residence is the Woolman, Winters, or Lewis apartments, please keep your cars in those parking lots and walk to your work assignments. Also, please keep watching E-nnouncements for further parking updates when various lots need to be kept empty.

If you have questions, contact Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.

Thanks!
