UW-P Alumni

Get your calendars out!

I just saw the preview list for the Arts Alive series!  It looks great!  Everyone knows I'm a planner, so I like to get these things on my calendar right away!  

Go here to check it out: Arts Alive

As long as you're at it...get the Theatre schedule noted too:  UW-Parkside Theatre

Don't forget about the Foreign Film Series either!  Foreign Films   They're back in the Student Center Cinema, which has been spruced up a bit from the renovations!*)

*Maybe you even want to name a seat!  Makes a great gift!  Cinema Seat Campaign

You can't beat all this great entertainment!  If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...this is all right here for you...no need to trek to the bigger cities!  Culture and Convenience!  :D

We're also working on some special alumni events linked to the various productions, so stay tuned!

See you at the show(s)!

UW-P Recipes

My friends Rick and Mary Kilps '75/'75 shared a fun find with me today...'Parkside Palatables'.  It's a cookbook that was created in 1984 and has contributors from across the University.  It's always interesting to see what people have in their own UW-P 'archives' and I appreciate when it's shared with me!  Thanks, Rick and Mary!

Now, I'm going to share with you!  Since this is the time of year for lots of picnics, parties and potlucks, here is a nice dessert recipe that Coach Jim Koch contributed to the cookbook.  (I could really go for some of this right now!)

Peanut Butter Squares

1 1/2 cup peanut butter

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, tightly packed

1 3/4 cups powdered sugar

1 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup melted butter

Mix peanut butter, brown sugar and powdered sugar together well with hands and then spread in a well-greased 9x13 inch pan. 

Melt chips and butter together and spread on top of mix in pan. 

Freeze and then cut into squares.

Grin and BEAR it!

Another fun Fourth of July weekend!  The Alumni Association sponsored participation in the Racine and Kenosha parades!  Here is a recap from the Racine parade on Saturday.  I'll check back in with more from Kenosha!

Wow!  SO many cheers and LOTS of enthusiasm for Ranger Bear (well, with a couple small exceptions, but probably no lifelong trauma inflicted!!!)!

Thanks for calling out my name when you saw me!  I felt like a celebrity!
