fun, fun and more fun

Well, the Centennial Park Fair was a blast. We gave away tons of freebies - MCC was all over the fair. The fair goers loved the games - Knock 'em Down and In the Cup - at our booth.

This week we're gearing up for the Foundation's Oktoberfest, Fri - Oct. 2. The Oktoberfest is always sure to be a good time. They'll be German fare, German drink, and German music. I can't wait to do the Chicken Dance with our Chicken Dancing Elmo doll! Hope to see you there :)

ever onward

Well, our 2009-2010 academic year is off to a booming start. Enrollment is soaring, and I'm loving all the energy buzzing around campus with all the newcomers and returned MCC community members. Our Fall semester is underway and going fabulously well. We've made it through Add/Drop. Everyone is settled into classes, the nursing students and faculty are enjoying the new lab, and the GED department has a big new dedicated space for class and studying.

Also, our fountain is running again, and I'm enjoying it immensely. The turn of the season is unfolding, and I'm enjoying being on such a gorgeous campus while it happens. Autumn is my favorite time of year and the hint of crispness in the air is tantalizing my senses.

I'm looking forward to our next set of projects. We'll see the revelers at the Centennial Park Fair - definitely look for us at the rodeo. Also, the Foundation Oktoberfest 2009 planning is underway. Look for your opportunity to get tickets shortly! More to come. Be good - cc
