Just a few things:

1. Thanks to all of you who sang and did drama at the church this morning. I heard it went well.
2. There will be lunch after Clean & Green tomorrow.
3. If any of you have relatives or friends in Corsicana Texas, let me know. I'm trying to work out a stop there when I'm in Texas.
   I will also be in Marshalls, Pohnpei, & Chuuk.
4. Help each other out. Let us help you. It is essential that you be in class. Don't fail because you fail to show up.
5. Take care of your health. Eat right. Get some sleep. Let one of us know, if you aren't feeling well.
6. Please let you pastors and families know about the Dr. Dave Owen Memorial Fund. This blog tells about it. We'll be saharing about it at the October GMA meeting. All Pastors and spouses are invited. It is October 11, at 11:30 AM, at SureStay Hotel.. Lunch is provided. GMA will also be talking about the Festival of Hope, a special event on Guam being held by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Hey PIU Students, this is the latest edition of the . . . President to Students (Pr to Ss) News.   Students Alumni, & Others who are listening in, The picture at the top is three PIU alumni, 2nd Lt. Melvin Fanoway, Chaplain, Captain John Tomada, and SPC Davy Welle. Looking good, guys. This is just for students. Speaking of good looking pictures: We didn't have a winner in the 4 for 4 drawing. The reason is, no one sent me a selfie. Simply send me a selfie. It can have up to 3 people in the selfie. Make sure to include your name, left-center-right. We'll pick one selfie, everyone in the picture will get a free 4 for 4. It could be a 4 for 4 for 3. Send your selfie to hmerrell@piu.edu. Get started right: Tomorrow, 9/9/19, is the first Clean and Green of this school year. To get you started off right, breakfast will be served in the Pavilion at 9:30. We will stop serving breakfast at 9:50. Wear your work clothes and come prepared to do some work. C&G starts at 10:00 am. Excellence is the word: Pat Riliy might not be familiar to some of you. He is one of the greatest NBA coaches of all time. And, by the way, perhaps the best dressed. He knew a bit about excellence.   Remember, we pursue excellence for a far greater reason than personal satisfaction, glory to self, or a major sports title. We strive, "exert every effort" for excellence because through our excellence we show forth the excellencies of our great God (2 Peter 1:3&5 & 1 Peter 2:9). Use your gifts to God's glory: Alex has several opportunities to serve in local churches. Check it out. I can't tell you much, yet, but we are about to undertake a major fundraising campaign. the end result could be major improvements on our campus. Please pray. A big thanks to our chapel team, setup, music, sound. Good work! Dare I say, "EXCELLENT"? Academic Wisdom: You only think you have plenty of time. You don't know. Start early. LIBRARY HOURS Fall semester schedule begins Tuesday, August 27 through Friday December 13: Monday — Thursday 9:00am-8:00pm {closed Tuesdays 11:00am-noon for Chapel} Looks good. Thanks Mary G. Live for Jesus. HM
