Upcoming Events! details

Hello everyone, here is a break down of some upcoming events.  If you have any questions please email wakemedbetterhalves@gmail.com or message us on facebook!

***For the month of July:

July 5th (this Sat!) we are having a craft night at Karens apartment!  It will start at 5pm.  Some people are meeting at the fabric store at 2pm.  It will be a little get together to make crafty things, sew pillow, etc. We will also be making some pizza! Please email wakemedbetterhalves for directions.

I am thinking about doing another event a little later in July, will post back with more details once I figure it out :)

***For the month of August:

So far we have figured out the events for orientation week. (Members of Better Halves- it is really important that you attend as much as you can this week to reach out to the first years coming in) 

Aug 5th: Dessert night @ 7:30pm.  It will be held at Karens apartment, an email evite will go out soon with the address.  First years coming in- there is no need to bring a dessert- all previous members will take care of the yummy foods!

Aug 7th: Casual walk around Salem Lake @ 9:30am.  We will meet there and take a nice walk around the lake.  This will be a causal laid back walk, its a long track so we probably will not go all the way around. This is a family event, children are welcome to come! 

Aug 8th: Orientation fair!!!! The orientation fair is from 1-3pm.  We will have a booth set up with some desserts. 

Aug 8th: Family Cook out.  After the orientation fair we will do a cook out for all medical students (all years) and thier family. First years- again no need to bring anything. 2nd-4th years- we will take care of the foods and drinks.  I will send out an evite with details (2nd-4th years when you rsvp on the evite leave a comment with what food and/or drink you are planning on bringing)  It will start at 4pm and last till whenever :)

Hope to see you at some of these events! 

New events coming soon!

Wow! It has been a long time since we have posted our events on our web page! But we are excited to announce that we have some great things coming up! During orientation week we are planning to be at the fair (with goodies), an orientation cookout (this will include all four years AND spouses - a great event to meet new people from different classes), a mid-day walk around Salem Lake, and even a dessert night. Please check back because dates and times will be posted soon once they are confirmed! We are so pleased to meet all the new Better Halves.
