Please register with an email to Lugene Schemper, and indicate whether you will take lunch in the faculty lunch room. The cost is $5.00 and includes a salad bar and vegetarian entrees. More information on dining at Calvin.

Lugene would also have you know that "we'll be meeting at the seminary (#41 on the map) in the Covenant Room. There will be parking in the lot to the east of the seminary. We'll be eating in the Alumni Board Room in the Commons Annex of the college (#5 on the map). The seminary (but not the college) will be on spring break, so not very lively. There are a few spots specifically designated for visitors on campus, but actually, one can park in any legal spot and it's ok." View the map he's referencing.
