Habitat for Humanity, 9/27

This Sunday we have our first of three Williston Team Builds with Habitat for Humanity.  We will be helping to put the finishing touches on the Easthampton House that we worked on last year.

We’d leave around 11:30 and be back just after 4.  Please let me know if you’re interested!

Thanks for considering.

Best,

Teller Chorus Starts Tuesday

Hello Williston Community!

I wanted to let you all know that Teller Chorus, Williston’s mixed-gender chorus, will begin meeting this Tuesday night, September 22, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in Reed 213! This chorus is open to anyone, students and faculty, and no previous singing experience is required! All you need is a desire to sing and a great attitude to work hard. We have a lot of fun and are singing some great pieces this year, including one many of you probably are familiar with!

Do know that regular Tuesday night attendance is required to be a part of this club, so consider the time commitment before you arrive. Please arrive at 6:15 p.m. to get music and find a seat, as we will start promptly at 6:30 p.m.

I hope to see many of you there! E-mail me back with any questions or concerns you might have.

It’s a New Year!!

Fitness Center Closed in August

Starting Monday, August 10, the Fitness Center will be closed so equipment can be moved out, the floor can be replaced, the mirrors removed, the entire space painted, and new weight lifting equipment installed.  The work is expected to take about one month.  The Fitness Center will re-open on Monday, September 7.  

We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we are sure these improvements will be of great benefit for our students when they arrive back on campus in September.
