Hello all, PSGSA is hosting our second annual Simpsons and Disney Movie night on Friday, November 21. All grad students are welcome to come and join us for a night of laughter and tears as we reminisce over some of the classic moments from our childhood. Suggestions for Simpsons episodes and movies are welcome. I have suggested the Disney version of Robin Hood but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We will be meeting in the atrium at 4:30-5:00 on the 21st and from there going to Pembina Hall. Drinks and pizza will be available. Please let me know if you'd like to come or if you have any questions. Don?
