[Eoscstudents] Menu for Thurs. June 2

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

This has been a short and sweet but busy week.  It sounds like the mass 
confusion that had taken over the bottom floor of the Library building 
with all the offices moving is coming under control somewhat, now that 
the offices are temporarily relocated into Choctaw Hall.  I  haven't 
ventured over there yet to see for myself, but I'll have to sometime 
today as I have bills to be paid and need to get some change and check 
our mail.  I'm glad Linda Enis sent out a list of "who's on first" over 
there.  I've printed that off and will definitely be taking it with me.  
I've only been in that building a couple of times, so I'll definitely 
need a "map".   

Congratulations go out to Bookstore Manager Ali Martinez, who recently 
achieved a goal many people never do.  She earned her Bachelors degree!  
She is now the proud and knowledgeable recipient of a Bachelor in 
Science degree from Southeastern in Durant, with a major in 
Psychology.   It's wonderful that the technology is in place so that 
students can do this entirely on line, as Ali did, and not have to move 
to a bigger college town, or drive back and forth every day.   I know 
she struggled to find time to do this amid her other activities, working 
full time as our Bookstore Manager, helping with PAWS, attending church, 
and still having time for her family and her beloved dogs.

PAWS will be having a meeting this evening at 6:00 in the Latimer County 
Public Library.  This is actually our May meeting which was postponed 
last week in order to allow us to hold an adoption day to find homes for 
several pound dogs, as the pound was becoming overcrowded, and sadly, 
when this happens, sometimes the decision is made to have the dogs 
killed.  We wanted to avoid this if at all possible, so decided to 
postpone our May meeting until June 2 in order to have the adoption day, 
which turned out very successfully, allowing several wonderful dogs to 
find homes with families and not have to be returned to the pound and an 
uncertain future.

I'm happy to report that tomorrow my mother, Lillie Hayes, will 
celebrate her 94th birthday!  Born in 1917, she's certainly seen a lot 
of changes in her lifetime.  Like many Okies, she resided in California 
for a while in order to find employment, but moved back home many years 
ago and has lived in Oklahoma (Bengal and Wilburton) for the majority of 
her life.  She still has a way to go to catch up with her mother who 
lived to be 99 years and 1 month, and her older sister, who recently 
passed away at the ripe old age of 108!

Our menu for today includes:
            Cube steak
or         BBQ on a bun with Fries
            California blend vegetables
            Green beans
            Corn
            Hot rolls
And for dessert, get dirty, with some Mississippi Mud Cake.

Have a great weekend,

Rhoda   :-)
