Women’s Center Open House (!!!)
4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Women’s Center, White Hall
At last!
[Note: we planned, and rescheduled, and replanned, this long-awaited open house several times. Construction schedules being what they are — most people who have been associated with large and complex construction projects will know what we mean — and our use of the new space in White Hall (WE LOVE IT!) being contingent on the completion of new quarters for the Counseling Ministries in Nelson Hall, the party that had been contemplated for September eventually turned into a spring fling. But it was a tremendous, and tremendously satisfying, celebration when it happened. See our May 10, 2008 post for a bit more exultation.]
