FREE LUNCH is always good news!
Commuters can thank Student Affairs for a free picnic lunch on Wednesday as part of the Cross-Cultural Experience and Service Opportunities Fair being held on the Oval. The Fair will kick off with a devotional from Fred Foy Strang and music by the Chapel Band.
Then students will move to the grassy area in front of Bristol Hall where more than 20 local agencies and campus trip sponsors will be set up with information to help students understand how the Cross-Cultural Experience works now under the revised Core and what services King students can provide for less-fortunate citizens of the Tri-Cities area.
This event has been long in the planning (since last spring) and carefully imagined. We are elated by the response of area service organizations such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, the Salvation Army, and Appalachian Service Project. Faculty and Staff will be on hand, too, with information about study abroad possibilities, mission trips planned for 2009-2010, and important information about the Cross-Cultural Experience requirement. There will be prize drawings every few minutes and a grand $$ prize given at the end of the fair.
I said on the syllabus plan that I would design a feedback sheet for students. But, actually the feedback sheet has become ubiquitous. A form will be given to all students who attend. Once they visit several of the tables to get information and get their sheet initialed by the information providers at those tables, the sheet turned in to Heather Levesque will serve as their entry in the grand prize drawing. We can retrieve those sheets from Heather to use to record attendance for our transfer students.
I hope each of you can come on Wednesday at least for part of the time. We are anticipating a successful outcome. Join the committee in prayers for good weather.
