Hi everyone,
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I just received a notice from MU stating that the Student Center/Memorial Union will be closed early at 6PM this Friday for Thanksgiving break. They didn’t say this before when I made the reservation and so this news is somewhat last minute. We can’t move this event to after Thanksgiving break or else it won’t mean much anymore. Thus, we decided to keep the same date and move the event to an earlier time.
>>The Thanksgiving Karaoke Party is now this Friday 11/18/11 at 2:30PM – 6PM in the Student Center Chamber’s Auditorium (2nd floor). Preparation will start at 2PM so if you can help set up, please come at this time.<<
If you still have classes or any business to attend to, please feel free to drop by at a later time as we understand the inconvenience in the time change for most people. We will still have our potluck so please bring foods and drinks if you can.
Have a great rest of the week!
Thao D.
