A retirement reception for Howard Macy (Religious Studies) is scheduled for this Tuesday, April 19, in the Hoover atrium between 4 and 5 p.m. Please come and wish Howard well as we celebrate and appreciate his contributions to our university for the past 21 years.

You are invited to join the Community Garden as we begin the season with a work party and celebrate with a salmon bake between 5 and 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 13.

If you have not been part of the garden in the past, but are interested in joining, this is a great time to start! In a time when there are more toxins in our increasingly expensive store-bought food, why not learn to grow your own? And enjoy eating it throughout the summer and fall? The salmon is provided. Bring some other dish, if you can. But if not, just come, PLAY IN THE DIRT AND EAT!

The community garden is located between the old hospital (VAC) and Coffin. Growing your own food is a great way to extend and improve the trip between the hospital and the coffin.

Questions? Contact Corey Beals at cbeals@georgefox.edu.
