You are all invited to the annual barbecue for faculty, staff and retirees set for this Thursday, Aug. 23, from 3-6 p.m. in the Paton College courtyard and main dining hall. Admission is a non-perishable food item, or monetary donation for the campus food bank.

Hot dogs, hamburgers, mussels, baloney and beverages are on the menu, along with door prizes, a reduced cash bar, music and entertainment, and give-a-ways.

Emcee Kenny Hammond will make you feel welcome; magician Mark Bailey has a few tricks up his sleeve, and juggler James Burke will keep things up in the air. So be sure so to attend. It’s a great way to catch up with friends and colleagues, and celebrate being part of the Memorial family.
