If there are any moms that live in/around Kalamazoo the Blue Star Moms will be hosting an Ice Cream Social on Tuesday, July 10, 7:00 p.m. at the VFW Red Arrow Post. This will be a great time to come and check out the group and get information on their mission to support all branches of the military.
Hi all - Happy Wednesday!
kai cat - that's pretty cool that you are so involved with the university and nice that they encourage their "neighbors" to get involved. Builds a nice community relationship ;-D I will stick a quarter in a machine for you! And fingers crossed it's the lucky one lol!
I'm so glad you are going to SC for a visit. We went when B was there and had a really nice time. Lots to see and do. Be sure to look in the discussion forum on the nuke page and you'll see some ideas for places to visit ~ have fun! I've been getting pictures from B & C from their trip to Atlantic City and it looks like they are having a lot of fun - only 2 more days till we get to see them ;-D
I don't work for MSU - but I live right next to campus! (I live about 1 block from the sheep research center LOL - on the outskirts of the farmland they own) but - my other son who is going to be a sophomore - 2 of his friends parents teach there, 1 works in administration. And then 2 of the parents I babysit for occasionally also have their phd's and work on the research side of MSU. It's like if you live around here, you just get really involved in the school. They are always doing things with the High School here through the Band, or with tutoring, sporting events, or art exhibits and like every student teacher we get comes from MSU.
We actually eat at the cafeteria (Brody Hall) at least once a week - it's only $10.50 per person and it's daily specials are created by the culinary students/staff. My nuke's high school graduation was even at MSU - they rent the building all the time!
So I have never even taken a class there and I technically don't have anything to do with the school - but there is just something weird about living here where they suck the whole community into supporting them.
I just always keep my eyes open for what jobs they post (not because I want one - just because it's something to read!) and of course, I'm familiar with the East Lansing/Okemos area because I live here.
I am hoping you will stick a quarter into a machine for me and win at least a hundred back! I am excited for you to see them,
I am almost bouncing off the walls because I will finally fly to SC after the 4th of July to see my nuke!! I can't wait to see SC, I haven't been there since I was about 5 years old.
B'sNukeMoM - I hope you have a wonderful visit with B and his GF :) love the picture about getting out of bed!
kai cat - yes, they were both Nukes - B was on the Truman and C was on the Lincoln. Refresh my memory - do you work at MSU or UofM? I have no doubt he'll find some type of p/t work during the school year - I just think it would be easier to have a job on campus since he's already there.
Oh and I was accepted to the Michigan FB page ;-D
Yeah!!! How exciting for you!! B's GF was a nuke too? I think B would be better off with a job off campus. Nearly all the campus jobs I know of are only 9.50/hr.
Enjoy your time together ♡♡♡
Hi all - Happy Monday!
I'm excited - get to see B and his gf! They are in Atlantic City right now and they fly into Vegas late Thursday and we are driving in on Friday-Monday. Looking forward to seeing them and hanging out. They're coming in for another Navy friends wedding - works for us though since Vegas is only a few hours away. Counting down the days!
