[Eoscstudents] Menu for TGI Friday Dec. 7

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

 From the sound of the weather reports for this coming Sunday and 
Monday, you'd better be getting that de-icer and windshield scraper 
found.  They're showing freezing rain, and colder temperatures heading 
for us.   Brrrr!  Sounds like good weather for a cup of  hot chocolate 
and a good book to me. 

I was rather pleased to see a letter to the editor in the local paper 
yesterday written by a woman from Red Oak commending Mr. Paul Enis for 
his hard work with the students on the recent Candlelighting program 
here at Eastern, and praising the students for their efforts.  She was 
rather disappointed that attendance was not better at this wonderful 
event.  Being from here, I don't know at the people I've heard saying 
that there's never anything to do, it's so boring, etc.  But between 
working here at Eastern and knowing about all the events happening here 
on campus, having a child in Jr. Hi/High School here in Wilburton, and 
getting involved in a few worthwhile local organizations, I don't find 
it boring at all.  As a matter of fact, sometimes I have to juggle which 
event I can go to and which I'll have to pass on this time.  Learn to 
watch for things that interest you and participate in them.  (I know 
most parents, though, are usually begging for an evening off, especially 
if you have more than one child involved in things.  There seems to be 
an endless round of ballgames, practices, plays, concerts, rehearsals, 
meetings, banquets, church functions, etc.)   Find something you're 
interested in and at least attend the events.  Support the kids.  You 
could probably even volunteer to help.  If you're a sports fan, there 
are a lot of games going on all the time and you could join the Booster 
Club.  The Theater Dept. sometimes needs help with props, sets, 
costumes, etc.  Local service organizations need members to keep doing 
their good work.  (We can always use volunteers, donations, etc. with 
PAWS.) There's definitely no need to be bored just because you don't 
live in a big city.  Just find an interest and get involved.   Get out 
and see the Christmas parade this Saturday evening at 7:00 for 
starters.  The next step is yours.

Our menu for today includes:  

        Smothered pork
       Chicken tenders
       Mashed potatoes and gravy
       Corn
       Sweet peas
       Green beans
       Baked beans
       Baked potato bar
       Hot rolls

For dessert have a luscious Brownie.  (With all that to choose from, 
there won't be a fast food today.)


Have a great weekend,

Rhoda   :-)
