Coffee: Starbucks has generously donated takeout 15-cup containers of their delicious coffee. It will be freshly brewed and ready for you to take first thing in the morning (February 8th) as a nice treat for your work colleagues. Send an email to:slmilone@rogers.com if you would like to order a container (it can be available for you as early as 7:15AM).

The students started their presentations.
We saw examples of expressionism, modern art and realism.
The audience asked the presenters exceptional and thoughtful questions.
The new unit will begin next week.
