In a pinch for a Valentine’s Day idea?
February 12, 2009
Students having troubles finding last-minute gifts for their sweethearts have a few options to find gifts right on campus.
Win a gift card to Olive Garden or a massage at the Rec Center
Business Professionals Roundtable is raffling off a Valentine-themed basket filled with a gift card to Olive Garden, two movie tickets, candy and a teddy bear.
The group is also raffling off two separate half-hour massages at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. Raffle tickets are $1 for one ticket and $5 for six tickets and can be purchased in the advising office of the Business Administration Building.
Molly Shriver, chair of the group, said the money will go to the group and will also benefit organizations within the College of Business Administration. Winners will be announced at 2 p.m. Friday by phone and e-mail.
Fondue with BUS and PRIDE!Kent
Black United Students and PRIDE!Kent are hosting a fondue party from 6 to 9:30 p.m. tonight in Room 306 of the Student Center.
Fondue flavors will include white chocolate, milk chocolate and cheese, along with drinks. Tickets are $5 for singles and $8 for couples and can be bought before or at the door. Students may contact members of either group for more information.
