These are great activity picks! Unless your only idea of a good time is curling up on the couch with a book (for many of us that's just our usual idea of a good time!) you've provided fun things to do! Awesome job you all!
I agree. While I do like going out and doing things occasionally, I really love either curling up on the couch with a good book or watching a fave sitcom.
To register for an event, we will send you an e-vite via staff email as it gets closer to each event. It should open a new window that asks for your name, branch/department, and the name of your guest.

A bunch of us were talking about the Bodies Revealed exhibit today:
https://www.sciencemuseumok.org/bodies-revealed
and we wondered if there's any way SA could hook us up with free admission, discount tickets, or anything? Pleeeeease? It looks SO cool. And educational!
Hi mellis,
Staff Association has looked into Science Museum and it is one of the top choices for the upcoming 17-18 year. We will look into this event. It looks like the Bodies Revealed exhibit is open till October 29th. Keep a look out for SA announcements. You might see a Science Museum one.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks! I hope it works out!
Is there a waiting list (or a way to make one) for the movie event? I wanted to sign up, and the event's closed. After having experienced a few library programs, I know that there will be last minute cancelations.
Hi ameeks,
Sorry, I will look into a waiting list but in the mean time if you could email me at [email protected], I will put you on a waiting list. And others are welcome to do email as well and we will see if any cancellations occur.
Thank you, Jessica Morris Staff Association Chair
