IPFW Family Picnic Hours Extended
 A message from Chancellor Wartell:
It has come to my attention that some faculty and staff are concerned that we are holding the Annual IPFW Family Picnic on September 11. It has become a campus tradition to hold this picnic the Sunday after Labor Day and we are doing that again this year. In 2005, our picnic was on September 11 and we proceeded with the annual event. The Family Picnic is a time for the campus to come together and celebrate our families, and in doing so, we celebrate our freedoms and honor the memories of 9/11/01. IPFW is commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11/01 with a number of events on campus. One of those is a concert by the Heartland Singers at 4 p.m., Sunday, September 11, in the Rhinehart Music Center. Some of you expressed regret that it appeared you had to make a choice between attending the concert to pay tribute to those who died on 9/11 and attending the annual Family Picnic. You can do both. The hours for the Family Picnic will be extended to 8 p.m. with plenty of food and refreshments for those who wish to attend the picnic after the concert. |
