Mm, mm, good
My girls! This week, Girls' Night is at 8pm on Wednesday (the 1st) and not on Thursday because I am going to Treehaven to fulfill a 1-credit Wellness class. The theme of our Girls' Night thus far has been suffering...basically, why it exists. We've barely skimmed the surface so far, and just in studying it more myself, I have a greater understanding of pain and how to deal with it by learning how God works with it. So you can imagine how anxious I am to go at it with you ladies! If you'd like, you can get a head start this week by looking at 2 Corinthians 12. Save room for some pizza on Wednesday night, too!
This Sunday's (the 5th) meeting will take place in the Burroughs TV Lounge at 7.07pm (same time). We're featuring (drum roll, please) ... the Enneagram! Haven't heard of it? Well, you're in for a treat! In addition, it'll be a game night of sorts. So, if you have a good game available, bring it along. We also have a lot of flour waiting to be ...used. So, what do you say for another round of flour fighting? Little grabs included. (We'll explain later).
Remember, we're having our movie night on Tuesday night and meeting outside Debot at 7:30pm to convoy to Ty's. Then, E&P (eat and pray) is on Wednesday at 5pm. If you live off-campus, we can easily cover you for the cost of dinner. (Let us know you're coming to give us that heads up, though).
Keep in mind that Election Day is coming up: Nov. 7th. It's a Tuesday, so it's conveniently our move night. Therefore, we'll meet one hour earlier on the 7th, at 6:30pm outside Debot, to go and vote together. Then it'll be movie time! Check the blog for articles about candidates/issues or let us know (i.e. leave a comment on this entry) of something you've found so we can share it. We need to VOTE!!
What did you think about last Sunday's (the 29th) meeting? Leave a comment, let us know!

Partay!
Halloween party tonight! It's at Seth's, and we'll meet outside Debot at 6pm if you need a ride. The lovely Miss MaryEllen will be taking us. Make sure to bring your rockin' costume, a pumpkin and a change of clothes for our flour fight. We have some extra from the last one we had, so I guess we just have to hold another round! SEE YOU SOON!!

Calling all ladies!
Tonight's Girls' Night will be in the Burrough's Music Room at 5:30pm. Mary's gracing us with her violin, Katie may play some piano, Melissa has some mad oboe skills and I have a trumpet solo to share. Hopefully, others can make it, too! Even if you don't have an instrument or song in mind, it'll still be great to listen. Besides, each of our meetings is full of great conversation and food...Ben and Jerry's Half-Baked is what's on this week. My wonderful friend and boyfriend John is coming into town at 6:30 or 7pm, so if you'd like, you can come with some of us to the bus station then. Later, ladies!

This Sunday
Just a remindor that this Sunday we are heading over to Perkins rather then the regular meeting in 073 Debot. So skip supper and come eat with us and enjoy some general time to hang out off campus (yea I know you can still see campus from Perkins work with me). We're meeting our usual time at Perkins!

Also, on the 23rd, there is a speaker with a presentation entitled, "the subversive memory of Jesus as the prophetic figure." Sounds interesting; I may go. It's at 7:30pm in room 101 of the CCC.

Wowed!
Tonight! E&P, 5pm, (e)ating at Debot and (p)raying in lower Debot afterwards. I hope to see you there!
Tomorrow night (Thursday) there will be a speaker giving a presentation on behalf of the Death Penalty. It's at 7:30pm in the Newman Center, and I am planning to go if anyone would like to join me (afran007@uwsp.edu). Below is an overview of the man who is speaking.
Ray Krone, a Pennsylvania native lived a normal life, a former Boy Scout, a high school athlete, an Air Force Sergeant, and eventually a mail carrier. In 1991 a customer in a bar in Pheonix where Ray was a customer was murdered. Ray, made the mistake of thinking that the legal system would work and prove his innocence and simply used a public defender. He was found guilty and sentanced to death in 1992. In 1994 he was granted a new trial, again found guilty but the judge saw that the evidence was weak so changed his sentance to 46 years in prison. He had spent 2 years and 8 months on death row and wasn't until 2002 that he was cleared due to DNA evidence and released from prison after 10 years and 4 months. Ray now travels the US and Europe talking about the death penalty and working to change the legal system. He has been featured in publications such as People, Parade, USA Today, and the Los Angeles Times and also on Good Morning America. Ray will be speaking at the Newman Center at 7:30 PM Thursday (October 5th) and will be followed by a short talk by No Death Penalty Wisconsin and a Q&A period. We hope this will motivate people to oppose lifting the ban on the death penalty in WI.
