National Geographic Volumes
by Patricia O'Mara 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

My name is Patricia O'Mara and I am the principal of St. Joseph School in Pewamo. I have a collection of National Geographic Volumes. They are yearly collections of the National Geographic Magazines placed within a book binding. The years range from the 1930's, the 1940's, and the 1950's. Would you be interested? Please let me know...it is so disturbing to discard any books. Thank you for your consideration.

student attendance on Saturdays
by Grai, Rebecca 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

We are a small, private, business university and our attendance on Saturdays is dismal. I'd like some ideas on increasing it. Does anyone do special things on Saturdays to bring in students? Any ideas on increasing attendance in general? Any advertising verbiage that might attract students attention? Our Sunday attendance is decent because they are getting ready for Monday, but on Saturdays, it's nothing but crickets. Grateful for any ideas.
