Final Free-Writing Workshop Tonight at 6:45

Hey Williston!

Do you hear that noise? That faint whisper calling your name?
It’s your notebooks and pencils asking you to write with them.
If your writing-hand is feeling a bit neglected, join us in the Writing Center
on Monday evening at 6:45 p.m. for my next free-writing workshop!

Due to scheduling constraints, this will be my final session, and I hope to see
many of you there! There will be more cookies, popcorn, and beverages—I pinky promise.

Thanks for your support and interest thus far. I look forward to finishing this great series with you tomorrow.

Ford Hall/Dining Commons Roof Work

Starting this Thursday, a roofing contractor will be on campus to install a new roof on the dining hall.  There may be some noise involved, although this should be fairly minimal because they won’t be doing much nailing.  They are bringing in a fairly large dumpster and are taking three parking spaces for their vehicles behind the building. The side door that is used for Children’s Center and Dining Hall access will remain open during the work.  We will be installing some access ‘tunnels’ (think New York ) for this door and the contractors will be installing a barrier on the roof perimeter as well.  Once we have a better idea how long the project will take, I will send an update.  I would appreciate everyone using care when they are in this area.   If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Thanks,
Paul Bricker
Maintenance Manager
