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.

Be wary of counterfeit money circulating in Newberg area

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

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.

May Term/Summer workstudy parking information

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

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!
