<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
In spite of seeing or hearing about 3 flocks of geese flying over
yesterday, I'm still surprised at the snow we're receiving this
morning! Guess I should've realized that geese don't need a weather
report to know what's coming the way humans do. And even with the snow
coming down, it's STILL FINALS WEEK at Eastern. I wish you all good
luck and lots of right answers! If you can make it through today's
tests, you have a great chance to cram in some knowledge and some great
food tonight at <b>"Pillows and Pancakes"</b>, starting at <b>11:00
p.m. and lasting until 1:00 a.m. here in the Cafeteria.</b> Come find
a study buddy, classmate, friend or maybe even a teacher and get ready
for the rest of this week's tests.<br>
<br>
<b>The PTK Gift Wrapping will be held today at Noon in Mitchell 119.</b>
Get in the Christmas spirit by going by and helping them wrap gifts for
children who might not have much under the tree this year. <br>
<br>
Our campus will be hosting a special guest today. <b>Lt. Governor
Todd Lamb</b> will be holding a "</font><font face="Comic Sans MS"><b>Town
Hall" type meeting in the Ballroom</b></font><font face="Comic Sans MS">
<b>from 2:00 to 3:00</b> to discuss issues of interest and concern to
area residents, so if you're not giving or taking a final, and you want
to know more about what's going on in our government, economy, etc., be
sure and attend this special meeting with one of the "movers and
shakers" of Oklahoma politics. Ask questions! This is an excellent
opportunity to get the facts on issues that concern you from someone
who's in the know.<br>
<br>
A <b>Staff Council meeting</b> is scheduled for <b>Tuesday at 2:00</b>
in the <b>Library, in Room 314</b>. Everyone is invited to attend,
and all input is appreciated.<br>
<br>
<b>Wednesday</b> will bring the annual <b>Faculty and Staff Christmas
Reception in the Ballroom</b>. You don't want to miss this special
event, giving employees a chance to visit with one another and enjoy
the wonderful treats our Cafeteria staff is preparing.<br>
<br>
<b>Birthdays</b> on campus this week include: On <b>Tuesday</b>, Post
Office employee, <b>David Martinez</b>, (husband of Librarian Maria
Martinez); <b>Wednesday</b>, long time favorite instructor <b>Marilynn
Duncan, and Phillip Hawthorne</b>; and on <b>Thursday, Leah Spencer</b>

<br>
Don't forget to turn in time sheets on Friday by noon so everyone will
get paid on time!<br>
<br>
