Halloween Party (Thursday: November 1, 2007)

Attention All Students:

This Thursday we will celebrate Halloween. All students and spouses are encouraged to attend. We will carve pumpkins at 9:30am, then enjoy a potluck at 11:00am. Pumpkin carvings will be judged, and prizes will be awarded. Please bring a main dish. The cost is $3.00/person. I will have a sign-up sheet available on Monday. The last day to sign-up is Wednesday (I will need to purchase a lot of pumpkins). Again, ALL STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.

Hope to see you all soon.

Next Event: Football (October 25, 2007)

Attention All Students:

Have you ever watched football and wondered what it would be like to actually play? Well, this Thursday you'll have the opportunity to practice you're running, throwing, and catching skills on the field at USC.

This is a friendly game, so don't worry about getting tackled. But, please wear appropriate clothing and athletic shoes. WATER IS ESSENTIAL! PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE WITHOUT SOMETHING TO DRINK! Every semester a student forgets to bring water and experiences dehydration/mild heat stroke as a result.

We will leave from the URC at 9:30am. Please don't be late. We'll play until we're tired, hungry, or both. I will supply the essential ingredient: a football.

I encourage all students to participate. The more the merrier!

Hi Everyone,

This week we're going to the Empress Pavilion for lunch on Thursday. Some of you may want to car-pool, while others may choose to take the bus.

We will leave from Wendy's at 10:30am and get to the pavillion around 11:00am. The car-pool fee is $2.00. A sign-up sheet will be available on Wednesday..

Getty Museum

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone enjoyed the Getty. It was a beautiful day, and it was so nice to have Lizzie and Keoki join us. One thing: The 405 event is not tomorrow. I was misinformed by the staff at the Getty. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience. Their next event is on October 26th.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Getty Center: October 11, 2007

Many of you who went on the hike requested that we go to the Getty Center. I think that sounds like a great idea. We will carpool from Wendy's at 9:30am, eat lunch together at 12:00, then return to USC around 2pm. Lunch may be purchased at the museum, but you may also bring food with you. I recommend that you visit their website and choose exhibits that you find interesting: http://www.getty.edu/. It will be somewhat difficult to see everything in one day. The cost will be $4.00. A sign-up sheet will be available on Monday.
