Bake Sale

Do something good and get something sweet! The PHENGLISH Team & STuFA are having a bake sale on Tuesday, November 11th and all of the money earned will go to the Red Cross Ravensburger Tafel. The stand will be at the NZ cafeteria from 9:00 to 14:30. Our goal is to raise 100 Euros! We need your help to reach this goal. Let's give back to the community with this project! If you can help out by baking a delicious treat or working the stand, please contact Ms. Mackintosh: mackintosh@ph-weingarten.de for more info.

Happy Halloween!

StuFa News

On Thursday, the 23rd students of the English Department met. After some questions about general things Nadine and Jennifer were reelected and three new members were elected to be the StuFa in winter semester 08/09: Max, Tanja and Mario.
We announced the Lunchbox which is taking place next Thursday 1 pm in S329.

Another thing all of you can really look forward to are movie evenings exclusively planned for English Students. Stay tuned for your personal invitation.
Let the activities begin! We planned lots of things for you, so stay tuned :)

Ms. Allmayer's Current Condition

Ms. Allmayer returned home yesterday, a day later than expected, with mixed news. The good news is that the tumour has been removed. However, doctors also told her that 6 out of the 12 lymph nodes are cancerous. Ms. Allmayer will be undergoing daily radiation treatments for the next few weeks which should "hit them on the head," as she says. She will also be taking daily treatment medication for the next five years.

Ms. Allmayer out this week

We've just heard that Ms. Allmayer has been written ill for the rest of the week. She sent an e-mail out about her condition last week and it's posted on the bulletin board outside of her office. The bad news, it looks like she'll be out for a while. More news to come as soon as we've got it.

Ruth Allmayer Update

We've got a little news about Ms. Allmayer. As many of you know, she has been fighting cancer since earlier this year. She had some major surgery last week and is doing fine. And she will be released from the hospital later today. She thanks everyone for their warm and caring messages and hopes to be back at the PH soon, but it all depends on how things go. If you would like to send Ms. Allmayer a card or anything, you can contact Ms. Mackintosh.
