Thanksgiving has passed and we’re winding down here at Phonathon. Winding down? HA! Yeah right! Things are just heating up. Here are some little updates from Phonathon for the end of November: President Phipps visited the Phonathon Headquarters last night, although I was not working (unfortunately) I heard it was a great time. With break breathing down our necks, we find ourselves even closer to our goal. With a great season this past fall anticipations of spring calling are high, with calling starting back up in February.
With the change of seasons comes the change of sports here at Messiah. As a first-year student, I was unfamiliar with other teams in our conference as well as our rival schools. I now know that E-Town = Bad and that we have a very fine soccer program here, in both Men’s and Women’s soccer. Basketball season has begun and I look forward to attending home games, and maybe even some close away games. The men are 1-2 on the season and the women are undefeated, what more could we ask for?
Another sport of interest that really falls under the radar here at Messiah is our men’s club ice hockey team who play at Twin Ponds West Hockey Rink, which is about 15 minutes from the school. The Falcons club team consists of twelve students from the College whose combined efforts have earned the team their 6-3-1 record-an impressive record for the clubs inaugural season. The link for information on the team can be found at: http://twinponds.com/hockey/ps.htm (then click on the NATIONAL division link)
Well that wraps it up for this week at Messiah’s Phonathon, check out some of the new sports in town (or is it officially the “Village” because Grantham is called the Village of Grantham) and stop by for some exciting times as we come to an end during this first semester.
