Thirst Fridays

Toast Portland Magazine at Thirst Friday, April 26

The Garaventa Center cordially invites all faculty and staff to a special edition of Thirst Friday on April 26, from 4-6 p.m., in Franz Hall room 330. With live jazz from 4-5, a 5 p.m. toast to Jessica Murphy Moo and the re-launch of Portland Magazine, and an “Only in Portland” tasting menu, this is a Thirst Friday not to be missed! It’s the last one for this academic year, so bring along a colleague or two and (weather permitting!) enjoy our beautiful patio along with tasty treats, assorted libations and great conversation. For more information contact Karen Eifler at eifler@up.edu.

Doors open at 3 p.m. in the center (Franz 330) and all faculty and staff are welcome to come by for 10 minutes or two hours and connect with one another through favorite stories, laughing, weeping, conversation and refreshments.
