Note to editors:
 
ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University is hosting an appreciation BBQ for faculty, staff, and retirees. The BBQ has become a campus tradition and is happening Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009, from 3 – 6 p.m., in the Dining Hall and Paton College Courtyard, located on the St. John’s campus. Over 700 faculty, staff, and retirees of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½’s St. John’s campus and Marine Institute are expected at the annual BBQ to enjoy good food, roving entertainment, music, some prizes and a great time! 
“The Summer BBQ is an opportunity to acknowledge the work that staff, faculty and retirees do and thank them for their valuable contribution to ÐÓ°É´«Ã½”, said Lisa Hollett, director of Human Resources.” As ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University begins another academic year, this is a time to celebrate successes, refresh acquaintances as the summer draws to a close, and talk about the future.” 
Admission to the BBQ is a non-perishable food item or monetary contribution to the Campus Food Bank. The BBQ is supported through campus fundraising and this year is also co-sponsored by Honeywell. A BBQ will also be held on the Sir Wilfred Grenfell College campus early in September.
