THURSDAY THREADS PICKS UP ITS FIRST STITCH

Knitting. Needlepoint. Counted cross stitch. Hand quilting. Heck, sock darning. If you do handwork and want to get together with co-workers for lunch and a refreshing mental break, bring your lunch and project to the first floor conference room of MFC, noon-1pm each Thursday.

We’ll swap stitches, help beginners, admire the old pros who don’t even have to look at their needles any more, and have some fun. If we outgrow the space, we’ll find a larger room.

Quasi-organizers: Barb Chamberlain and Debbie Haberman.

ATM INFORMATION

If you are a member of any of the credit unions listed below, you can use the ATMs on the first floor in MFC or Phase I without being charged the $1.00 service fee.

Spokane Teachers Credit Union, Numerica Credit Union, Global Credit Union, Spokane Federal Credit Union, Washington State Employees Credit Union, United Health Services Credit Union, Spokane Postal Credit Union, Spokane City Credit Union, Spokane Firefighters Credit Union, Mountain View Credit Union (formerly URM).

SEEKING COMMENCEMENT STORIES

We need your commencement stories about this year’s graduating students. Heartwarming, heartbreaking, inspirational, unusual, exceptional... you get the picture. These will be pitched to media and may make their way into future newsletter articles, so these should be students who are comfortable discussing whatever it is that makes you suggest them.

Send information to Barb Chamberlain, chamberlain@wsu.edu, 8-7527, ASAP.
