Let's Go Bananas!

So how was your first week of classes? Hope you are adjusting well to your new routine and starting to get settled in and comfortable.

Just writing to invite you to our party Saturday night. It's a Build Your Own Banana Split party! This Saturday night you are the master of your own sweet icy treat destiny! You choose your ice cream flavors. You choose your toppings -- will it be hot fudge, caramel, strawberry? Do you want whipped cream on that? Cherry on top, or no cherry? And no one can tell you whether to split your banana lengthwise or in slices, because YOU are the MASTER ARCHITECT of your own banana split! Can you feel the exhilaration already? Can you feel the anticipation building?

Oh, ya, and we will have sprinkles for your banana split, too. If you were at CCVT's "Oasis" Wednesday night you know how much Chris is looking forward to the sprinkles on top. (We'll have lots of other stuff, too, but you get the idea.)

So save some room for dessert when you eat supper Saturday, and then mosey on over to CCVT's campus house about 7pm and we'll play a few games and exercise our culinary creativity seeing what kind of banana split masterpieces we can conjure up.

As always, feel free to bring some friends along.

If you haven't been to our campus house yet, it is very conveniently located right by campus. In fact, it is probably closer to your dorm room than most of your classes. We're right over by the Washington Street tennis courts, on Clay Street, which is one block over from Washington, and parallel to it. We are the last house on the end of Clay Street closest to the tennis courts. You could throw a tennis ball from our front yard onto the tennis courts. (Are you starting to get the idea how close we are, and how short of a walk this is going to be for you if you live on campus?)

If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only about 100 yards from the bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking.

For clear and easy directions just look on the top right side of your screen. Of course you can always call us if you need to, too. 540-552-8292.

Hope you can make it Saturday at about 7pm.
Steve
