Positive Connection Night
![](http://www.uaf.edu/files/ruralss/VDAY-Family-Fued.png) It's baaaaaack!!! Be sure to join us for the Valentine's Day PCN in The Gathering Room at 5:00pm on February 12th! We're playing Family Feud, and your responses will be used! You can visit http://goo.gl/forms/ny1msJHvW5to anonymously weigh in on 25 questions that will be used for the game. Alternatively, stop by the office and grab a paper version! The responses we've gotten in previous years were great and we're looking forward to more!
Our last PCN of this semester will be held on Wednesday, March 9th at 5:00pm. Since it falls during mid-term season, we're not going to have an activity. Just come by to eat a bunch of good, hearty, traditional foods, cooked with the intention of togetherness, comfort, and relaxation.
To stay updated on what we've got going on, visit us on Facebook!
