  3. September First Friday Recap: Ice Cream Social

    September 7, 2010 by Kristen Byers

    About 50 faculty and staff members joined us for ice cream on the afternoon of Friday, September 3. Even though the ice cream began melting a little more quickly than anticipated, we had a lot of fun enjoying the sunshine and playing two games of bingo. A special thank you to Jonathan Covell, who served as the bingo master for the event. Congratulations to Edy Rhodes and Laurel Hogan, who were the winners of the Baskin Robbins gift certificates.
