The Daily Bruin

University Advancement is pleased to offer an estate planning workshop on Thursday, April 5, at noon in Roberts Center 117. A light lunch of soup and salad will be served.

Gene Christian, a George Fox alumnus and the university’s planned giving director, will present the tools and techniques necessary to develop a loving, tax-efficient estate distribution plan. If you need further direction with your estate plan, Gene will be available after the workshop to set up individual meetings.

There is no cost to you for either the lunch workshop or the individual meeting with Gene. Please join us to learn about estate planning and your options to care for those you love with your financial resources. Please RSVP by Thursday, March 29, to Karlyn Fleming at kfleming@georgefox.edu or ext. 2115.

Today (Sunday) is the start of Holy Week – the week when the Christian church remembers the events leading up to the resurrection of Jesus. To invite you into reflection on Jesus’ journey to the cross and the good news of Easter Sunday, the spiritual life office has posted a week-long Bible reading plan on our webpage for your convenience.

Our hope is that as you follow Jesus’ journey to the cross and wait with expectancy for Easter Sunday, that you will encounter God’s love for you and presence with you.

That’s two Thursdays, two Fridays, two Saturdays, and one Sunday. All shows take place in Wood-Mar Auditorium, and ushers will need to show up one hour before the show starts. As a bonus, if you usher for the show you will be able to see it for free!

A George Fox student developing a card game is seeking a student well-versed in graphic/digital illustration (Photoshop, Illustrator) to create card, character and box art for the card game.

Plans call for the product to go on Kickstarter next year. This would be a good opportunity for art majors to expand their portfolio. There will be monetary compensation for the work, given that it is a large project. It will be a bonus if you know about strategy card games.

Contact Brandon Seeger at bseeger15@georgefox.edu to find out more about this project.
