Wine Tasting
Honors Council Hosts:
Liz Henry and Catherine Montesi
Honors Classroom
A night of wine etiquette
and appetizers is on the menu this evening. Just because you're under 21
does not mean you cannot attend and learn about the various types of wine
and eat a little cheese, too; it just means you cannot have any of the
wine. This event is open to everyone in the program, but you must be 21
to taste the wine. This night will be a lot of fun. Who knows, maybe our
teeth will even turn a little purple. Seats are limited. RSVP to Dr.
Burke by 3:00 pm Thursday, March 8 (during spring break). |

Honors
Council Hosts: Carol Dodge, Burton Bridges, and Sana Mujahid
This
Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Harper Lee went on to garner awards on
stage and in film as it told the story of Atticus Finch and his family.
Set in the depression-era Alabama and seen through the eyes of Atticus'
daughter Scout and her brother Jem, this is a down-home southern telling
of prejudice and hatred, of acceptance and love. Seats are limited and
if you cancel after RSVPing you must find a replacement or pay.
