Spring Fling set for May 21

Faculty, staff, graduate student staff and retirees are invited to take part in the activities, which will begin at 11:30 a.m.

Registration packets, with information about signing up for activities, will be mailed to faculty and staff in March.

The day of food and fun will include many traditional favorites: lunch (with a vegetarian
option), fitness walk, classic vehicle show, and free play activities at the RSC.

In addition, sand volleyball and yard games, such as ladder golf and cornhole, will return. Signup will be on the day of Spring Fling for those events.

Golf also is on the activity list. Tee times will be available at the Ackerman Hills and Kampen courses.

The popular trivia contest outside the rec center also will return.

Available again this year will be a chance to donate blood with the Indiana Bloodmobile, which will be parked outside the RSC, and an opportunity to contribute to the Food Finders Food Bank.

More information will be included in future issues of Inside Purdue and in Purdue Today, your daily e-mail newsletter.

Volunteer, have fun
Faculty and staff are encouraged to volunteer for an hour or so during Spring Fling 2009.
