[Eoscstudents] Menu for Lunch TGI Fri. Sept. 5

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

Boy, September really snuck up on me.  (That's probably not proper 
English, but I'm pretty sure it's proper Okie.)  I am still trying to 
write August on things, but the temperature lately makes it a lot easier 
to believe it's actually September or even later.  It definitely feels 
like time to start rotating the closet and bringing the warmer stuff 
forward, hunting out the long sleeves and jackets, and go shoe shopping 
for some new Fall/Winter shoes. 

I came back to campus yesterday evening with my daughter and her best 
friend to the special program on Domestic Violence with guest speaker 
Tanya Brown, sister of Nicole Brown (Simpson).  Many of us grownups 
remember following that story in the news, with the low speed Bronco 
chase and the lengthy, high profile "Trial of the Century"  as if it 
were yesterday, but it was kind of a shock to realize that most of our 
students were only about 5 years old when it happened.  Tanya stressed 
that most abuse begins on a verbal level, and goes through a predictable 
pattern, that if not stopped many times does not end without a fatal 
resolution.  She told of one woman who was a domestic violence advocate 
for women who frequently heard sounds of violence and abuse occurring 
from her neighbors, but did not feel she should interfere.  The neighbor 
was later killed by her abuser.  At that point, there's no going back to 
change what you didn't do to help.  She stated that if you think someone 
is being abused, just let them know that you're there for them, ready to 
be a friend, someone to talk to and ready to do whatever you can to 
help.  It can make all the difference.

Our menu for today includes:
             Pork chops
             Fish sandwich on a bun
             Au gratin potatoes
             Corn
             Macaroni and tomatoes
             Brussels sprouts
             Green beans
             French fries
             Hot rolls

And for dessert, have some luscious Fruit Cobbler.

Have a great weekend,

Rhoda   :-)
