All,
a reminder about the BBQ tomorrow @ 12 at the Point. Dilshan has offered to flight his drone (weather permitting) for a group picture!
Games:
1. Speed leaf raking
2. Football pumpkin target practices
3. Slingshot competition: take Dilshan's drone down and win a 30-day-paid leave (compliment of the Head). The first two shots are free, $5 for any additional shot.
See you tomorrow
The BBQ folks

Hi all,
We have a lot of Canna lily bulbs on east flower bed of the Plant Science building. There is also a very nice Meezo plant which can be easily propagated for next year indoors. Feel free to take some home if you like!
Thanks,
Parneet

Hello All,
Last week we ordered a new tank of Liquid Nitrogen and it is almost full.
As we are getting close to second quarter, we are looking to see if we can have the tank empty this week before September 30. We would appreciate if you could fill your tanks, so that we can process the chargebacks before quarter end.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Have a really great day!
Thanks and regards,
