The Daily Bruin

The hours of operation for our Groovy Bruin food cart will be changing slightly. Effective today (Monday, May 16), we will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.

All are invited to participate in the university’s Community Garden. We’re going to meet for an information and work day this Saturday, May 14, from 1 to 3 p.m. We’ll talk about when we want to meet regularly throughout the summer and what we want to plant this year. We’ll plant some things and continue working to build up beds and get the garden space ready to go.

If you want to participate in the garden but can’t come on Saturday, contact Cherice Bock (cbock@georgefox.edu) to be put on the email list and learn about future gatherings.

We meet weekly throughout the summer, usually on a weekday evening, including a potluck meal.

The cost is $10 per student and $15 per adult (children free) for those who can contribute. This covers seeds and seedlings.

You’re welcome to come to this meeting and check it out, without making a commitment to joining for the whole summer. The garden is located in the field on the corner of Villa and Crestview streets.

The undergraduate admissions office is welcoming the incoming freshman class to Genesis, our registration orientation event. Please be courteous to guests by avoiding parking in the Stevens and Hoover parking lots today (Friday) and tomorrow.

Plant Services is hosting its annual Phase II event this week. Items will be open for viewing in the Macy and Sutton basements starting today (Tuesday) from noon to 5 p.m. It will open again Wednesday and Thursday, May 4-5, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and again on Friday, May 6, from 8 a.m. to noon.

At the end of every school year, many students have good reusable items that they do not want to take home over the summer. These items often include blankets, clothing, kitchen supplies, small appliances, radios, room decorations, furniture, etc.

In an effort to keep the dumpsters from overflowing and to be better stewards of our resources, Phase II was initiated. Many students have benefited from these items. For example, summer work-study students often find items they need for apartment living.

After students and staff view these items, the remaining items will be donated to the International Student Emergency Fund and other local charities.

Questions? Contact Dwayne Astleford at dastlefo@georgefox.edu.
