Due to the waxing of the floors in the Beebe Post Office lobby, the Beebe Post Office will be closed today (Thursday). All other campus post offices are open today.
Students will be able to check their mail again in Beebe on Friday, May 22, during the regular hours (7 a.m. – 6 p.m.). If you have questions, please email Linda Sartwell at lsartwel@georgefox.edu.
Please join us at 6:30 p.m. tonight (Thursday) in the Foxhole! We will have chips, salsa, small snacks and drinks! Come join us as we eat, fellowship, watch a brief (2-3 minute) video, and discuss how to live simply in a complex world. Afterwords, there will be games and time to hang out!
If you want a way to fellowship, play games, and grow with other students this summer, this is it! See you there!
Questions? Contact Heather McDonald (hmcdonald13@georgefox.edu) or Joshua Rockwell (jrockwell14@georgefox.edu).
If the weather cooperates, the VAC lots are to be restriped today (Wednesday). If you normally park in these lots, please park elsewhere today.
Thank you!
Summer is one of the biggest times of the year for visitors to campus, and security officers are noticing that our visitor rows in the Hoover, Stevens and VAC parking lots are filled with staff and student vehicles. Please do not park in these areas so there is abundant parking for our potential students coming to check out our campus.
Summer students and summer work-study students: While it is generally OK to park in the staff lots when there is room, please pay attention to the Daily Bruin announcements when we need to vacate certain lots for large events happening on campus like Genesis, summer camps and other events.
Thank you!

This Saturday, May 23, from 1 to 3 p.m., we’ll host an informational meeting and work day for anyone interested in being part of the community garden. We will discuss what days we want to have garden work days throughout the summer, and what crops you would like to see planted.
We’ll also move some dirt around and plant a few starts. Donation suggestion to cover the cost of seeds and other materials: $10 for George Fox students, $15 for adults.
The new garden space is the fenced area in the field on the corner of Villa Road and Sierra Vista. If you are interested in joining the garden but you can’t be there May 16 or 23, please contact Cherice Bock (cbock@georgefox.edu) for more information.

The weather forecast has changed, and we are hoping to get the Wood-Mar and Newlin apartment lots restriped on Tuesday, May 19, in addition to North Street between Center Street and the entrance to Bauman.
If the weather cooperates, then the VAC lots are next to be restriped on Wednesday, May 20. If you normally park in these lots, please park elsewhere today (Tuesday) and tomorrow.
Thank you!

FoxTALE will be unavailable from 6 to 8 a.m. (Pacific Time) on Wednesday, May 20, for scheduled maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience.
This is just a heads-up on where parking lot restriping will be taking place today (Monday, May 18), and hopefully tomorrow (Tuesday), weather permitting.
On Monday, we would ask you to please vacate the little parking lot by the River Street House, the western part of the Pennington lot closest to Stevens, and the Woolman apartment lots. If all the painting is able to be completed today, it won’t be necessary to vacate those lots on Tuesday. If that is the case, the Wood-Mar lot will need to be vacated on Tuesday, May 19.

On Sunday, May 17, the Newberg Fire Department will be doing a “burn-to-learn†on the Munn and North Street houses, at 1314 E. North St. and 1400 North St., respectively.
Fire crews will be at the site for most of the day as they do various exercises involving small fires inside the houses. North Street House will eventually be burned to the ground, but the north end of Munn House may be left to avoid damage to the nearby trees. The houses are being removed to prepare the area for the construction of a new dining hall.
If you choose to come and watch, please be considerate of the fire department crews and stay at a safe distance. After the fire department has finished with this area, do not walk in the burn area, as the rubble will remain hot and hazardous, and do not go into the remains of the Munn House. Plant Services crews will complete the demolition.
Questions or concerns? Contact the Office of Plant Services at 503-554-2010.
