[Eoscstudents] Menu for TGI Friday April 24

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

Thank goodness, and a good breeze, and probably a lot of hard work by 
our local volunteer fire departments, the smoke has mostly cleared from 
the air, (and everyone's head) today.  I heard from a couple of people 
that it had come all the way from Damon Valley.  Judging from the amount 
of smoke that was just everywhere yesterday, there can't be anything 
left of Damon Valley.  From now on it'll be known as "the place where 
Damon Valley used to be". 

I was privileged to attend the special program put on by Ruth 
Brelsford's Honors Students at the White House yesterday evening, themed 
around the area's early history as a coal mining center, and Eastern's 
origins as the School of Mines and Metallurgy, and it was wonderful.  
It's always nice to get to go to the beautiful White House for whatever 
reason, and there was a good crowd of EOSC supporters from the college, 
the community and OMTI in attendance.  The finger foods were 
scrumptious, supplied by our own Cafeteria.  Mildred and the crew can 
always come up with some of the best goodies for any sort of function 
and after seeing them being prepared and drooling over them all day, I, 
at last, got to actually sample some, and found them to be well worth 
the wait.  It was fascinating to hear a lot of the facts and stories 
that these wonderful students had uncovered during their research into 
the coal mining history of this area, and the re-enactment of the old 
radio program "The Big Story" was entertaining and educational, as well 
as humorous.  I hope these students and Ruth know how much they are 
appreciated for being willing to plan and host a program such as this.  
I know there was a lot of work involved and it came off beautifully.  
Thanks to all of you.  Good job.

Don't forget, if you have the chance, to attend the special 10th 
Anniversary event at the McAlester Campus this afternoon.  
Congratulations to our McAlester campus for reaching such a milestone.  
Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday wishes go out today to Gear Up's Cheryl Roberts.  She's a 
sweetheard and I hope she enjoys her special day, however she wants, 
even if it's at work.

Our menu for today includes:
                Meatloaf
                Mashed potatoes and gravy
                Corn
                Black eyed peas
                Winter blend vegetables
                Baked potato bar
                Meat and cheese nachos
               
And for dessert have a piece of Carrot Cake.

Have a  great weekend,

Rhoda    :-)
