Sisters of Distinction The Christmas season is one of the most anticipated and exciting times of the year. This is a time to show the ones we love how important they are to us. We can hear the Christmas music as we move down the aisle in the stores pondering on what to buy. We cruise down the neighborhood streets to view the colorful lights, and the lovely melodies of Christmas carols linger in our ears. All people around the world look forward to the holiday season. On the other hand, there are some people who are not as fortunate as others. They are sheltered women and children whom we call survivors. These women have been survivors of domestic violence and so many other circumstances. In light of their condition, the members of Sisters of Distinction would like to assist the shelter for the holiday season. Sisters of Distinction take pride in aiding NCWC and the Rocky Mount Community. We wish we were able to give until our hearts are content, but at this time we are not able. For this reason we are making a plea to the faculty and staff of the College to aid us in our venture to promote the art of giving. Sisters of Distinction would like to invite each and every able bodied person to donate gifts from the heart. If you are interested in joining with our organization, please contact Ms. Lupia Guion at 252-984-3108 for further information. Sisters of Distinction is a non-profit organization on the Wesleyan campus, donations will be given to the purpose of making the families at My Sisters House enjoy their holiday. Thank you, Lupia Guion President of Sisters of Distinction THE REFUGE CLUB OCTOBERCOOKOUT AND CONCERT IN REVIEW -Til I*- ' ' ^ if Sf, ; • GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU FROM THE NC WESLEYAN REFUGE CLUB NIKKI LANDRY, THE REFUGE CLUB One of the goals The Refuge Club is striving to reach in the 2003-2004 academic year, is to incorporate a diverse group of people. We would like to attract and keep students coming to the meetings that would not normally be interested in just a ‘chapel service’. In order to achieve this goal, we are putting together activities once a month that would bring students not familiar with or normally uninterested in The Refuge. In the month of September, we had a self defense course taught by a three time karate champion from ■IMilillM the Rocky Mount area named James Dozier. He taught us practical defense moves along with godly wisdom we need for living out the Christian life. The result was exactly what we wanted. People were introduced to The Refuge Club and invited back. New relationships were made that are still being maintained to this day. For the second trial at involving new people, we held a free cookout and Christian concert in the Hartness center on Tuesday, October 28. We knew that if anything would draw a crowd, it would be free food! As the crowd came, the people of the Refuge got to sit down and talk to them about the Refuge, what we stand for and what we are all about. The night was a success! Everyone had a wonderfu time and the following Tuesday we had double the normal amount of people al the Refuge meeting! God moved in a mighty way and lives were changed, We give God all the glory and are excited to see what He will do in the rest of this year! Thank you for your support. Remembering our Past This month in Wesleyan history we remember the 1977 Men’s Soccer team. The Bishops finished the year with a 8-4-2 record to take posession of second place in the Dixie Conference behind Virginia Wesleyan. This was the teams best finish in the history of Wesleyan Soccer to date and included wins over High Point, ECU and UNC Greensboro. The leading Scorer that year was center James Lipscomb, a fresh man from Richmond, Virginia, with 6 goals. Other standouts that year were Senior defenseman Stanley Jarrett who scored 5 goals on the year, most comming on free kicks, left wing Freshman Billy Maynard with 4 goals, right wing Billy King and all purpose lineman Greg Dittman with 2 goals each. In goal that year was Major De ment, an all conference contender and the anchor of the team with 98 saves. Graduating senior starters were the fore mentioned Stanley Jarrett, full back Eddie King and someone we all know, fullback turned Current School Registrar, Cliff Sullivan.
