Spring Picnic
24 May 2006It’s time again for the annual departmental picnic. If you are a CS or math major, might someday be a CS or math major, work for the department as a system administrator, research assistant, grader, prefector, or lab assistant, or are simply a friend of the department or its denizens, you’re invited! Take a break from studying at lunchtime on Tuesday, May 30, to eat, drink (lemonade, anyway) and be merry with us. We’ll meet at Hill of Three Oaks at noon. Put your name and Sodexho number (if you have one) on the sign-up sheet posted on the glass doors to the department office by noon on Friday, May 26 (we’re easy, but Sodexho is not!). If you are off board, that’s no problem, but be sure to sign up anyway so we can figure out how much food and drink are needed. Bring your appetite, bring your CS and math friends, bring your ‘bee. If you like to cook and want to show off your skills, bring a dish, but this is not required. See you there!
