| Dear SFURA Colleagues, I wish to remind you of three SFURA events this month, Alan Aberbach's seminar at 12:00 noon on Tuesday October 18 in 126 Halpern Centre, the Fall Dinner at 6:00 pm on Thursday October 27 at Eagle Creek Restaurant, and the showing of our DVD at 12:30 pm October 28 in Images Theatre. The Seminar Series is presented to the SFU community by our Retirees Association. We begin this year's series with Dr. Alan Aberbach, SFURA member and retired professor of History. Dr. Aberbach is an outstanding and engaging speaker. He won the SFU Excellence in Teaching Award, and his Harbour Centre classes in Opera Studies were sold out for many years to very appreciative audiences. His seminar title is timely: "And May God Continue To Bless the United States of America": God and American Foreign Policy. Announcements of the Fall Dinner were mailed out to members. The DVD produced this summer will have its premiere showing to our Association that evening. The deadline for response is October 21, but Marg Jones would like to have as many replies as possible before that date. Please notify me if you would like me to send another copy of the form as an email attachment. The following day, FRIDAY OCTOBER 28, the video will be shown to the SFU community at 12:30 pm in the Images Theatre. A link to a three-minute preview of the disk can be found on on the new SFU Television web page: www.sfutv.ca When you are at that page, click on BROWSE at the top of the page, then SFU History, then "Retirees Retrospective". Directions to the preview can also be found on the SFURA website: http://www.sfu.ca/retirees/ Regards, Evelyn Palmer |
