*MEETINGS/PRESENTATIONS*
BANGOR Based Students
Historically the Portland campus has had an end of the year meal where the
graduating seniors were recognized and celebrated. That event is scheduled
this year for May 13th. When the Senior Class was debating what to do about
a Senior gathering, I suggested that we have a parallel event at Bangor on
Wednesday May 14th. As befits a new venture I'm proposing a very modest
event: a barbecue at the Dyke Center at 6:00. The evening's events will
include a meal (costing you just $5 for each person you invite - it will be
a humble meal!), recognition of the graduating seniors, and the presentation
of a plaque to a senior who has made a significant contribution to the
quality of life at the Bangor campus.
In order to line up the meal I need to know how many people will attend.
Please email Trish <pannis@bts.edu>
ASAP with your RSVP (by this Wednesday would be best).
Thank you, Bill Imes
