<p class="MsoNormal">We have several events scheduled for February. We will be selling cupcakes in the Evans lobby Feb. 13-14, as a fundraiser. We will be open from 9-1, if you can help us sell or stop by for a delicious treat. On Friday, Feb. 21, we will
be having two activities. At 3 p.m. we will be gathering in EV 317 for a circle reading of black authors to celebrate Black History Month. Please bring your favorite poem, short fiction excerpt by a black author to share. Later that evening we will be going
to dinner to hear a presentation by one of the department’s Shakespeare experts and then attending the Theater department’s presentation of “Much Ado about Nothing” which begins at 8 p.m. in the University Theater Center. We will be purchasing group discount
tickets. If you want to attend, please get your $8 to Dr. Dowdey by Friday, Feb. 14. You may take it to the main English Office and ask them to get it to me. Please invite a friend or significant other to attend with us as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
