Get your cooking gear out and come for a feast at the Progressive Dinner Party!
Ok...it's not a political gathering of sort for sure. The Progressive Conservative Party won't be there. A progressive dinner party is pretty much a meal on the go!
And the party happens this Sunday, January 28, 2007 at 6:30, beginning at Unit 5.
So here's how it works...3 courses will be served: Appetizers, Main Course, Desserts. Each course will be served at a different unit within our cluster of houses...and for once, it's not at my house (it's not that I don't enjoy having you guys over).
Appetizers: Unit 5
Main Course: Unit 12
Dessert: Unit 19
Appetizers will start at 6:30pm. Once that is done, we will move onto the next unit. This will be potluck style in terms of appetizers and desserts; I will contribute the main course.
As always, please bring your own plate, cutlery and cup to dinner.
What I need from you...please RSVP by emailing me so I know how much main course to make. Once you have RSVP'd me, I will either assign you to bringing appetizers or desserts. All you need to do is bring a plate of whatever I assigned you to, enough to serve 10-15 people, whether you make it from scratch or buy it from the store, it doesn't matter to me.
How does that sound? I'm excited about this!
Do it today. I need to know final numbers by Friday, January 26 so I can go shopping.
Cheers,
Cecilia

SNOW DAY!
Jan. 15, 2007 - SNOW DAY
The University of Waterloo is closed today. Please refer to UW's homepage for procedures on Snow Days.
Blessed Winter. For our international and exchange students, I should have explained it earlier, but snow days don't happen very often, so it skipped my mind. Basically when the winter weather is "bad", the school closes to ensure everyone's safety. Only essential services will be running, such as the cafeteria in V1 or REV. The gyms will be closed and there are no lectures. Online assignments may still be handed in if due today, so you may want to check on that.
Enjoy your snow day! If you get bored, go play. But be safe! I wish I had toboggans...cuz then we could go toboganning.
Cheers,
Cecilia
