MRSA Social Committee
Now that everyone is returning to campus and since the government lifted the limit on indoor gatherings as of March 1st; the Social Committee is excited to Welcome You Back to Campus!
SAVE THE DATE! -SPRING SOCIAL! May 18 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. Please put this date/time in your Google Calendar right now! You won’t want to miss our Spring Social event in May. It will be held in our MRSA Staff Lounge and outside on the patio (weather permitting). More information coming in the May Newsletter.
April Quiz - Rather than another crossword puzzle, we decided to do a quiz contest this month. Let’s see how many of you binge watched Netflix over the pandemic. I might have done this. This quiz is Netflix based, but don’t worry, even if you haven’t binge watched these shows, you should be able to find the answers from your friends who did or the internet, so you can still play with us. This quiz will be available during April and will close at 4:30 p.m. on April 29. Open to all MRSA Members.
You can access the quiz here.
A $20.00 e-gift card prize will be given to the person who gets the most correct answers. Should we have people tie for first place, then a draw will be held with everyone who is tied with the correct number of answers. Good luck.
June is pride month; watch for more information about our participation in the May Newsletter.
