Daejeon-Chungcheong Summer Picnic
June 20, 2015 - 2:00pm to 6:00pm
Unfortunately we have just been told by Woosong that because of MERS we CANNOT have our picnic on the campus. As well, the forecast is calling for rain on Saturday. We are going to POSTPONE the picnic until early September.
Let's not let the rain and MERS get us down! We would still like to have a get-together on Saturday. Let's have a time of eating and fellowship at All that Barbecue restaurant in Doonsan Dong @ 5PM.
We hope to see you on Saturday!

Prof. Roger Fusselman

One of the greatest challenges any teacher of children faces is controlling the classroom.
