CATHERINE'S PICK: Disc Golf: A Sport for All Seasons (apparently)

Rain, nor sleet or snow will keep the disc golf players away! It’s a joy to look out our office windows to see disc golf enthusiasts driving off the tee almost every day. What a convenient opportunity for family and friends to get fresh air, and a little exercise this winter. See you on the tee pad. - Four!

MOLLY'S PICK: 12th Annual Ranger Day at the Games

Typically a January weekend for me is staying cooped up in my apartment afraid to brave the cold. Not this year! On January 13 you’ll find me at the annual Ranger Day at the Games in the Sports Activities Center. Brats, Bloody Mary’s, and Basketball… what could be better? Plus, you can meet the new Director of Athletics and reconnect with other alumni and Rangers supporters!

KIM'S PICK: One Man, Two Guvnors - theatre performance

I am so excited to see One Man, Two Guvnors! As you may have picked up from the spelling, it is a British comedy, funny like Benny Hill. Francis finds himself with two jobs as a valet, and his bosses (guvnors) don't know about the other. Insanity and hilarity in huge doses! I'll be the one with the big LOL in the audience.
