Dear colleagues and fierce competitors (and less fierce spectators),
Summer is almost over, which means it’s time to announce the date and location of our traditional pre-fall-term celebration: the Student-Faculty Softball Game and Potluck! See the attached (and lovely!) poster by Nicole Birch-Bayley.
The event will be at Dovercourt Park, beginning at 4pm, with first pitch thrown probably around 4:15. All equipment is already provided except gloves; if you want to play, bring your own glove.
But EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Even if sports aren’t your thing (as I’m sure is true of most of us — otherwise we wouldn’t have done so much reading growing up), come to enjoy the sun, to share in the potluck, and (new this year) maybe to try your hand at a couple of lawn games we’ll get going on the side during the softball (bocce and/or badminton, depending on interest).
And new this year: a prize for the winning team! Whichever team wins this year will have delicious pastries from Tung Hing Bakery delivered to the JHB lounge of their choice (i.e. grad lounge or faculty lounge) every other Monday in the winter semester.
Looking forward to seeing you —
Your Staff-Student Relations Committee
