Halloween Social to be held by Golden University at Kennesaw State

(October 4, 2000) Continuing Education's Golden University at KSU will hold a Halloween social Thursday, October 26 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Complete with ghoulish treats, haunting laughter therapy and prizes, this event is designed to celebrate the season, it was announced today by Barbara Calhoun, dean of Continuing Education.

"There will be prizes for best costumes however, costumes are completely optional," said Richard Harp, Golden University Director. "We want everyone to have fun and be comfortable, so if they want to wear a costume that's wonderful, and if they don't that's fine too."

Harp also explained he is expecting well over 200 people to attend. "At the last open house, which was in July, there were over 200 people and everyone really had fun. We even had phone calls and letters afterwards asking when we were going to have another event for our Golden University friends and participants."

Riverside Bank and WellStar's Goodlife Club are event co-sponsors. Continuing Education's Golden University offers a variety of educational opportunities for adults 50 and older, and has served more than 2000 participants. The purpose of the Golden University is to promote lifelong learning and continued intellectual and personal growth for its members.
