Wow! By the looks of our blog, it would appear that we haven’t been up to much around the OUWC lately. Quite the opposite really, which might explain why updates have been lacks lately. Just a quick rundown since we last checked in…(read these in superfast “disclaimer voice” for full effect)…
Holiday Luncheon
Book discussions
Healthy dinners
International dinners
Ladies Nights Out
Baby Showers to benefit local non-profits
Members having new babies!
Wine Tasting Events
An Art of Living & Breathing lecture
Culinary Classics
So much more…
Here is a look at current and upcoming events:
April 20th, join us at noon for a tour of the Athens Train Depot on Union, across from Star of India. After our tour, some members will be gathering for lunch @ Lui Lui.
The Community Service interest group is doing a little fundraising for some May events and everyone can participate to whatever extent you’d like. You can contribute food, funds, fun or all of the above.
Here are the details:
May 7th – Girl Power Breakfast: More details will be sent later, but the date is May 7. We need volunteers to help serve (at some ungodly hour on a Saturday morning), bake (1 dozen or one loaf of something breakfast-ey) and to donate money to help cover the cost of juice, fruit, go-gurt, etc. Kristine Hayes has volunteered to do the shopping so you can either give money to her or donate through the collection site @ http://ouwcservice.bbnow.org/donate.php . If you would like to bake but can’t attend, items can be dropped off the day before to Room 174, Building 20, The Ridges (SBDC office right next to the scary elevator). Also, if you plan to bake, please let Kate Leeman (leemank@ohio.edu) know so she can keep track of how much we have.
May 14th Come out to Peden Stadium for the Russell Runs for a Reason 5K! Join other members of the OUWC as we walk, run, push a stroller or walk a dog for our reason…to raise funds to benefit the Athens County Food Pantry. The interest group is planning a “tailgate” for both pre & post event at the corner of Oxbow & South Green Dr. near Emeriti Park. If you want to participate in spirit, your contribution to the food pantry can be collected at http://ouwcservice.bbnow.org/donate.php but feel free to come participate or support your fellow members. If you’d like plan to walk or run in the event, please contact Anna Jensen (jensena@ohio.edu) so coordination of t-shirts and fees can be arranged.
Save the date for the upcoming Spring Tea with Mrs. McDavis on May 18th.
Count me in to help on the 7th. Thanks to the organizers
