[Plantsci] Annual Departmental Softball Game

[Justin Shaffer]

On behalf of the plant sciences graduate students,


It's almost time for the departmental softball game! The annual event will
be held on Saturday, November 7 at Fort Lowell Park: 2900 N. Craycroft Rd.
Along with the field (#8) we have reserved a nearby ramada (#6) at which we
are providing a picnic catered by BrushFire BBQ (
http://www.brushfirebbq.com/). We expect the picnic to begin at 12pm, and
the game to begin at 1pm.



We know the softball game was an event that held a special place in Dr. Van
Etten's heart, as it was an opportunity for the entire School of Plant
Sciences to enjoy each others company, and we would like the game to be
held in his memory. Thus, we are proud to announce the *1st Annual Hans Van
Etten Memorial Softball Game*. Dr. Van Etten was invaluable to the School
of Plant Sciences, and we felt this was a small but special way to honor
Hans' life, his influential work in the field, and his unending dedication
to students.



We are looking forward to a great turnout! Significant others, children,
and pets are all welcome and encouraged. Please RSVP using this Doodle link
with the number of people expected to attend:

are able to.



In addition to your invitation we are asking for your help in raising funds
for the cost of the food and park reservation. We are asking for donations
of: $20 from faculty, $10 from post-docs and staff, and $5 from graduate
students. Those wishing to consume alcohol in the form of beer are
suggested to contribute $10 each to a separate fund. Please direct
contributions to the graduate club treasurer, Seth Steichen
ssteiche at email.arizona.edu.



Any questions or concerns can be directed to the graduate club public
relations officer, Sarah Araldi-Brondolo saraharaldi at email.arizona.edu.



Thank you and best wishes,
