Ok...that was a lil formal. Here's an informal recap. I'm inviting each one of you (so long as you live in Unit 1 to 25) over to my place for dinner this coming Tuesday, September 19, 2006. If you already have plans, don't worry, we'll do it again later. If you don't have anything to do or want someone to cook you a meal, come on over. I'm doing the cooking; I just need you to bring yourselves and whatever you eat/drink with. Feel to bring over snacks or appetizers or desserts if you'd like. If you guys could do me a great favour of emailing me if you think you'll be coming; I'd appreciate it so I know approximately how much food to make. If you decide to come at the last minute that's totally cool as well. And no I'm not telling you what I'm serving...you'll just have to come and find out.

Hope your classes are going well!

CLV Sports Meeting

Tomorrow, September 13, 2006
8pm at Unit #45

Come all you recreational athletes and sport buffs! We...and by we, I mean Dalton, will be hosting a meeting at our house Sept. 13 at 8pm for you to sign up for a sports team. The three sports offered are volleyball, soccer (football), basketball. We've decided as a Dons team that the residents will have to select among yourselves a captain for each of these teams. Due to our class, don and meeting schedules, we're unable to captain a team for you guys.

Dalton will provide you with more information on that at the meeting.

Make sure you come and if you really can't make it, email Dalton at dalton_clvdon@hotmail.com for more information.

Cool? Awesome,
