Schedule Update -- SMB Concerts & c.

Real quick everyone,

Due to a conspiracy of circumstances the Screwtape Letters group is officially cancelled this week. Like everything else in grad fellowship, it is on hiatus till January.

One thing I forgot to mention earlier -- there are no grad fellowship activities this week, but GCF friends the Sarah Mac Band are having two concerts this weekend to celebrate the release of their first EP. The first is on Friday night at Element 3 out on Mahan Drive, and the second is Saturday night out at the Warehouse on Gaines St. If you are sticking around after finals at all you might want to go out and hear them.

Details on the concerts as well as samples of their music may be found at http://www.myspace.com/sarahmacband.

GRAD FELLOWSHIP CHRISTMAS PARTY COMING UP SOON!!


The annual symphony of flame, chocolate fondue, hot chili, and apple cider that is the Grad Fellowship Christmas Party will rapidly be upon us. Doesn't that sound great?

Here are the details. The party will be at the home of Stuart & Teri Christmas, and it starts at 6:30 PM. Stuart and Teri live in what you could call the country. That makes it a bit of a hike to get to, but it also makes it perfect for bonfires and looking at the stars. You could even get loud and get funky if the mood strikes you.

The address for the Christmases is 13084 Ginny Lane, 32308. Their home phone is 668-8590. If mapquest doesn't strike your fancy here are directions from campus:

--Take Tennessee St. to N. Monroe and turn left (heading north)
--Take N. Monroe to the intersection of Tharpe St. and turn right
--Tharpe quickly dead ends into Meridian; turn left onto Meridian
--Go 13 miles to the intersection of Ginny Lane and turn left (your landmark will be a long white fence on the left side of the road, when you see it start slowing down).
--On Ginny Lane veer right for >.2 miles (two-tenths). 13084 Ginny lane will be clearly marked on the mailbox and is on the left (I'll have signs out too).

On the menu:

Chili (herbivorous & carnivorous varieties)
baked bread
salad
various fruits
cheesecake
chocolate fondue

Let me know if you've got any questions. If you can, let me know if you're showing up (e-mail jwoodham@gfmse.org). You're welcome if you crash the party, but it would be good to have a head count.
