Out of Town

Hello wonderful Ashby residents!!!

I hope you enjoyed the scavenger hunt yesterday!

I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I will be out of town for the next several days. In fact, I am leaving town later this afternoon and will not be back until next Wednesday night. If you need assistance, please see your RA and they will know what course of action to take.

Here are some important reminders for the coming days:
1. Please find out when your community meetings are so you can be in attendance.
2. The Welcome Back party is Friday night at 8 pm in the TV Lounge. Please join us for this fun party! Come enjoy games and food!
3. There is a 'pot of gold' in the refrigerator from yesterday! Thanks to those who participated...now enjoy some candy!

Have a great week!
Until next time...

St. Patrick's Day

Good morning, Ashby!!!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

For those of you who do not know, Saint Patrick's Day is a yearly holiday celebrated on 17 March. It is named after Saint Patrick (circa AD 387–461), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland. It is widely celebrated in America by Irish and non-Irish alike. Many people, regardless of ethnic background, wear green-coloured clothing and items. Traditionally, those who are caught not wearing green are pinched affectionately.

Today we will have our own St. Patty's Day fun with a scavenger hunt. Below you will see a photograph of the "clues" you will find around the building and the "pot of gold" that you're searching for at the end of the hunt!

Here is your first clue to get you started...
I am a place where things are so fresh and so clean...
I am full of front-loaders and love to take your flex $ away!

And...you're off! Good luck! And tell your friends to visit the blog today to get their first clue!

Until next time...

Programs/Advertisements

Good morning, Ashby!

I'd like to do a little bit of a survey/polling day here on the Ashby blog! I would like to get a feel for what you're hoping to see more of in the second half of this semester in terms of programming. I would also like to understand better what type of advertising most catches your eye and gets to come to a program!

So, please take some time to complete the polls on the right hand side and let me know what you think!!!

Until next time...
Katie, Ashby Hall Director

PS. Tomorrow, we will be having some St. Patrick's Day fun here on the blog...so spread the word among your fellow Ashbians...they won't want to miss out!
