Beth's
casual send-off is Wednesday, January 23 @ the Women's
Center. Fri. Jan. 25, will be Beth Rees' last
day of work as the Women's Center's Program
Coordinator. We'll have early morning (8
- 9:30) bagels, fruit, coffee and tea, so
drop by if you can. Alternately, bring your
lunch at noon, when we'll have cookies and
drinks. Or, if none of that works for you,
then stop by the Women's Center at the end of
the day (4 - 5:15) for a snack and a chance
to give Beth a warm farewell. Or, best of
all, come to all three!!
We will miss you, Beth!
Looking for Center Host Volunteers The
Diversity Center is working to extend its
open hours to 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. every day. To do
that, they need more host volunteers. If you
have 3 hours per week to welcome and support
the community, please call! Info:
