They are looking for volunteers to help with a Summer Camp in July. You can find out more by visiting http://www.tenoaksproject.org/about-us.aspx.

Questions from a “Hat” Returns… Twice in a Row!
Mar 23rd
On Wednesday, March 24th the “Questions from a Hat” discussion group returns! Think of a question you would like to write down and toss into the “hat” as a potential item for discussion.
Also, note that the Guest Speaker from ACCKWA rescheduled to March 31st is unfortunately no longer available. As such, we will have a return performance of the Questions from a “Hat” discussion next week too!
Important Note Regarding March 17th AfterGLOW Social
Mar 16th
As most people are ready aware, one of our sponsors (GLOW) hosts socials at the UW Grad House following the discissions groups every Wednesday Night! The groups meets on the second floor of the Grad House starting at about 8:45 PM.
Over the past few weeks, there were apparently some miscommunications that resulted in the second floor room not being reserved in time for the gatherings. This was all resolved last week and all should be fine moving forward… with one possible exception…
The Grad House has advised that with March 17th being St. Patrick’s Day, the venue tends to be much busier than usual. The Manager of the Grad House personally called to provide notice that with the larger number of patrons, it may be difficult for the staff to keep the room reserved for our booking. She wanted to provide notice as she did not want individuals to be disappointed if no space was available, especially given all of the efforts to clear up miscommunications last week. The staff do hope that the number of patrons will be lower after 8:30 pm and that they can reserve our regular room for us, but would like to apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
