Two fun events–with volunteer opportunities–to keep in mind in March!
THING ONE: Thursday, March 14, 7-9pm in Terrell Academic Commons: “Jane’s Games: Playing Cards with Jane Austen” Short lecture and lessons followed by an evening of playing Speculation, a fun and easy card game popular in the Regency era.
Volunteer opportunity: Learn how to play Speculation beforehand and serve as experts at each table to town/gown guests. 1.5 time flex time for OCOPE folks if you come out to help (and have fun!). Let Valerie know if you are interested and we will have a Speculation lesson sometime in February during work hours.
THING TWO:
Friday, March 29, StudiOC, 8:30am-1:30pm: The First Annual Edible Book Festival! Co-sponsored with the Oberlin Public Library. I hope that your and/or your department will submit an entry (registration form here) and come by on your lunch hour from 11:30 to 12:30 to see and eat. But if you wish to volunteer for the event, we could use one or two more for the duration. Again, if OCOPE employees who volunteer to help out with the event can take 1.5 the time as flex time.
