OWLS SHARE SUMMERTIME FUN WITH POTLUCK POOL PARTY
Older, Wiser Learners Get into Swim of Things with Alumni, Families

(MURFREESBORO) – Older Wiser Learners (OWLs), an organization for nontraditional students at MTSU, will hold a summer potluck pool party and picnic from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, June 24, at the Campus Recreation Center.
Members of OWLs, OWLs alumni and their families are welcome. The event is an opportunity to bid farewell to Dr. Carol Ann Baily, director of the Off-Campus Student Center, and executive aide Virginia Ellis as they move on to other responsibilities and to meet Terri Johnson and Valerie Avent, director and assistant director of the June Anderson Center for Women and Nontraditional Students.
Participants may use the outdoor pool and sundeck from 4 to 5:30 p.m., or, in the event of rain, the indoor pool and adjacent hallway. For the potluck dinner from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., each participant should bring a side dish of vegetables, salad or dessert to serve 8-10 people and a large bottle of soft drink, tea or water.
In addition, a silent auction of OWL-related items will be conducted with proceeds to benefit the student organization.
