Subject: Reminder: Picnic and Karaoke today!
Submitter: Meghan R Flores, Associate Director of Financial Aid, Enrollment Center

Message: Have you been waiting all year to sing a special song for your boss, your work buddy, your colleague down the hall or a rival office on campus? Do you dream about becoming the next American Idol, or better yet Augsburg Idol? Do you sing in the shower and want to do it at work, but with clothes on, no water, and in Murphy Park rather than in the privacy of your own home? If your answer is 'yes' to any of these questions or I have just peaked your curiosity, than the Staff Senate Picnic is the place for you! Join us at 11:30 a.m. for food, fun, prizes and some undoubtedly laughable memories.

Our annual picnic will be today, May 18, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. We plan to hold the picnic in Murphy Park, which should work out if all goes right. According to Paul Douglas we are expecting a 65 degree day with a 20% chance of showers. In the off chance that a meteorologist is wrong, we will gather in East Commons.

Shake your groove thing, shake your groove thing, yeah- yeah··

Subject: Farewell
Submitter: Tracy Elftmann, Vice President for Advancement, Institutional Advancement

Message: With sadness and joy (sadness because we hate to see them go; joy because the reason they're leaving is we're nearing our $55 million campaign goal) we will say good-bye to some terrific members of our Development team. Part time gift officers Phil Quanbeck sr., George Sverdrup, and Ron Main; and Assistant Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations, Stephanie Stuart, are leaving our employ at the end of this month. They have been great additions to our fundraising efforts and will, I'm sure, continue to be strong Augsburg ambassadors. Please join us in celebrating their good works on Thursday, May 25, in the Marshall Room from 9 - 10 a.m.
