May
2 , 2003 Picnic
to Celebrate Success of The Plan for Mount Holyoke 2003

The
all campus picnic set for May 6 will feature traditional
picnic fare and a performance by the band Inner Orchestra,
shown here. |
In
1997, the College adopted a six-year comprehensive blueprint for
Mount Holyoke's future. This year marks the completion of
that initiative, the highly successful Plan for Mount Holyoke
2003, which has had an impact on virtually every area of
College life. As the College stands on the threshold of embarking
on The Plan for Mount Holyoke 2010 (the board is set
to vote on it this weekend), President Joanne V. Creighton felt
it was "important to acknowledge the hard work of the community
in bringing to fruition the goals of The Plan for Mount Holyoke
2003 and the overall success of the Plan." To this
end, the president is sponsoring a special picnic for the MHC
community. Set for Tuesday, May 6, from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm on
Pageant Field, which is located behind Gettell Amphitheater, the
picnic will feature live music and great food. There will even
be commemorative souvenirs.
Picnic goers will choose from grilled hot dogs and burgers (both
vegan and traditional versions of each), potato salad and spicy
black bean salad, brownies, and watermelon, among other picnic
fare. Dining will be to the tunes of the band Inner Orchestra,
which describes its music as "sophisticated, forward-thinking,
danceable, and fun." Featuring four horns, bass, drums,
and guitar, the band combines the influences of Herbie Hancock,
James Brown, Duke Ellington, and Yusef Lateef in its writing and
improvisation. In the event of rain, lunch will be served at the
luncheon centers, and the band will be cancelled.
