Paper Mache Party

Thank you to those of you who attended the Pic-a-nic! We were glad so many people came and with so much food! We played duck duck goose, telephone, capture the flag and a hamburger game. Photos up on our site.

Our Paper Mache Party, will be held on Thursday, September 25 at 6:00pm in the English Building in room 69. We'll provide the flour, water, balloons, cardboard, but you are welcome to bring your own to help out. There will be music and candy, and maybe a secret surprise! We'll be creating paper mache memories!

Pic-a-nic, Trees, and Wind

Bring your picnic baskets, gingham blankets, and kites!

We are inviting everyone to a Pic-a-nic on the Quad, Sunday, September 21, at 12:30pm! After we eat we will be playing childhood games such as cops and robbers, freeze tag, slide slide slippery slide, duck duck goose, and more. If you are burning to play a game you haven't played for years or if you've always wanted to make one up, we promise not to judge you any worse than the kids at recess did.

If you'd like to contribute to the potluck, email us if you are interested in bringing: finger sandwiches, chips, deserts, cookies, fruit, drinks or utensils.

We would also like to thank everyone who went to explore the Arboretum, Hartley Gardens, and Japan House with us. The tree climbing was grand! Photos and smiles are posted.

Garden Exploring and Childhood Games

Thank you all for a glorious first meeting. The secret Unbirthday Party went so well! Over 40 people came, even in the rain. We now have 160+ in our mailing list. We are happy that the cake was all eaten.

We discussed the Society's thesis, timeline of events, and childhood dreams. Our tentative schedule is on our event page and calendar.

Tree House Society is going Garden Exploring, Sunday, September 7, 1:30pm-4pm! We are meeting at Hartley Gardens to explore the nearby fields, gardens, and Japan House. Hopefully it will be a new experience for many people!

We will be playing old school childhood games like tag, hide and seek, and red light green light. We might even have a hopscotch tournament. If you can, bring chalk, kickball's, and your feet.

Hartley Gardens is south east of FAR/PAR. Go south on Lincoln and on your left you'll see amazing living things. We'll be there.
