New Xeriscaping Class Being Taught by Dann Brown – Dr. Dann Brown is teaching a new two-hour-credit xeriscaping class. Faculty and staff can register using their tuition credit. For more information, contact Dr. Brown. (The following was found on the Internet: "The term xeriscape is derived from the Greek word xeros meaning dry, combined with landscaping, thus xeriscaping. The term was coined by the Front Range Xeriscape Task Force of the Denver Water Department in 1981. The goal of a xeriscape is to create a visually attractive landscape that uses plants selected for their water efficiency. Properly maintained, a xeriscape can easily use less than one-half the water of a traditional landscape. Once established, a xeriscape should require less maintenance than turf landscape.)

Catering Request Form Here – Find the link to the new ENMU/Sodexho catering request form at http://www.enmu.edu/facultystaff/forms/dining_request.pdf. This form replaces any prior versions and should be used for all campus catering/dining requests.

For Maximum Attendance for Your Event, Check University Calendar First – To maximize attendance at your Eastern event, you may want to check the University calendar before deciding on a date. This will assist you in picking a date in which there are not a lot of competing events. To find the calendar, go to ENMU's home page (www.enmu.edu), click on "Calendar" on the right-hand top corner, then click on arrows to the desired month. You can submit your additions for the on-line University Calendar via e-mail at calendar@enmu.edu. F or any questions or problems regarding this process, please direct correspondence to betsy.chavez@enmu.edu or call 562.2134.

Golf Scramble Tournament – The Department of Intramurals and Recreational Sports is kicking off its fall semester activities with a Golf Scramble Tournament (ENMU-Cannon Open). The Four-person Scramble will be held at the Whispering Winds Golf Course on Cannon Air Force Base, on Sunday, Sept. 7. The first tee-off time will be 1 p.m. The tournament is open to anyone; entries are not limited to ENMU students, faculty or staff. The cost for civilians is $19.50: this includes cart and green fees. Everyone is encouraged to use a cart to help speed up play. If you're Military personnel fees will probably be less.
Prizes will be given to 1st and 2nd places. We'll also provide hot dogs, chili dogs and sodas for all participants. Sign up now!
One team representative must go to the mandatory meeting on Sept. 4, at 6 p.m. in GA 14. Extremely Important: We apologize for the late notification, but we could not advertise the tournament until it was approved by the CAFB Commander; and it was approved yesterday. Because the tournament is held on a U.S Military Installation, security is a very important and serious issue. If all members on your team are civilians (not active military duty, not military retired, not a military dependent, or an employee of CAFB), then you'll need to have your entry to me no later than 11 a.m., Tuesday, August 26. Your entry must have full names of all players, social security numbers and birthdates. This is a CAFB policy and your cooperation is important or you'll be denied entrance on to the base. If at least one member of your team is a U.S military personnel (active duty, retired, dependent or an employee at CAFB), your entry isn't due until Thursday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m., which is also the entry deadline. Your roster will only require team names and two contact phone numbers. The team member with the military base privileges can sponsor or sign-on the rest of the team, upon arrival at one of the two entrances to CAFB. We apologize for the process that you must endure to gain access to CAFB, but they are Department of Defense policies and we all have to comply. The minor inconvenience is very much worth it, because Whispering Winds Golf Course is the best place to play around this area and plus you'll have lots of fun. E-mail your entries to Inosia.Poyer@enmu.edu or pick up an entry form at the CUB Information Desk, MaxPAC in the Greyhound Arena or our office at Greyhound Arena Room 14. Call Sia Poyer at 2739 or 2297 for more information.
