REPLACES MORNING MEETING
 
What 's Happening at Moravian College?
At our October 26 meeting, we had the pleasure of hearing from Dr. Bryon Grigsby, President of Moravian College. Dr. Grigsby provided a very enlightening presentation of “What’s Happening at Moravian College!”
 
Of course, you need to take a look back at the first 275 years of the College’s history to gain perspective on how it has and continues to evolve.
Did you know Moravian started out as a girls school in the 1740’s?
 
Now Moravian College has evolved into a liberal arts education in conjunction with various professional healthcare programs.
 
Two recent additions include a Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center in collaboration with St. Luke’s University Health Network and The Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz Center for Health Sciences. These are leading edge state of the art facilities focused on bringing liberal arts and science together to serve the future needs of educators, scientists and entrepreneurs.
 
As Dr. Grigsby stated, “as we enter our next 275 years, we will continue to help our students to prepare for their chosen careers but also prepare them for the 3 or 4 other careers they will pursue in their lifetimes.”
Thank you Charlotte!
MSR SPONSOR SCHOOL THOMAS JEFFERSON
Thomas Jefferson elementary school has become a Morning Star "adopted " grantee.
 
 
More Volunteers are still needed. Come on out, enjoy fellowship as we start a great community project!
 
Good Afternoon Everyone,
 
Thank you all for volunteering your time this Saturday to assist in the Thomas Jefferson clean-up day. This is just a reminder that we will begin at 9:00 a.m. I will be arriving at 8:30 to make sure a table is set up for all breakfast items. 
 
The school wrote up a request for Home Depot and were given:
2 brooms, 1 rake, a pack of lawn bags and a pack of multi purpose gloves
 
I know some of you agreed to bring leaf blowers and rakes, which would be great! Please bring any items you have that may assist in the work.  I will be picking up the paint, brushes and additional bags. 
 
When I went to the school last week, we decided to hold off on re-painting the map of the U.S. (for time purposes) and thought we may plan a second cleanup/paint day in the spring. We will still be painting hop-scotch, four squares and new kickball bases.
 
Below is the list of breakfast items for which each person has signed up to bring.  If something has changed, please let me know so I can fill in where needed.
 
Lynn & Jean- muffins
Wayne & Karen- bagels & cream cheese
Dee- coffee
Shawn- juice
Ellen- half & half
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.  If not, I will see everyone on Saturday! :-)
 
Thank you,
 
Jess Elliott
