June 10-24 - Neil Simon's 'Broadway
Bound'
Arizona Repertory Theater
Arizona Repertory Theatre is the professional theatre
training company at the University of Arizona School of
Theatre Arts. ART showcases the talents of professional
faculty, aspiring students and professional guest artists
through a season comprised of Shakespearean, classical and
contemporary plays and musicals. Building upon the success
of ART's first two productions in Neil Simon's acclaimed
autobiographical trilogy, Brighton Beach Memoirs and
Biloxi Blues, we present the much-anticipated final
installment. In Broadway Bound, the 1987 Tony Award
nominee for Best Play, Eugene Jerome and his brother Stanley
pair up to write a comedy sketch for CBS. Inspiration is
hard to come by, and they use their dysfunctional family as
a model. But when feelings get hurt and family secrets come
out, they discover harsh truths about who they are and learn
lessons about love, forgiveness, and hope while pursuing
their dream to reach New York. Contains adult language
and mature themes. This production has been made
possible by donors to the College of Fine Arts Dean's Fund
for Excellence, and is offered through the generous support
of the 2007 Summer Arts Festival, a program of the Office of
Summer and Winter Session. Dates & Times: Previews:
June 10 at 1:30 p.m., June 11 at 7:30 p.m.; Evenings: June
13-16, 21-23 at 7:30 p.m.; Matinees: June 17, 23, 24 at 1:30
p.m. Place: The Tornabene Theatre on the UA campus
located near the southeast corner of Park Ave. and Speedway
Blvd. Cost: General $26, Senior Citizen/UA
Employee/Military $24, Student $19, Preview $17. Tickets may
be charged to MasterCard, Visa or American Express. A
convenience fee of $3 per order will be charged for phone
orders. If you would like your tickets mailed to you, there
is an additional $1.50 fee per order. Season subscriptions
are available throughout the fall from $88 - $130 for a
six-show season and from $58 - $86 for a four-show season.

June 12: 8:30-11:30 - Negotiating
Strategies that Work Workshop
University Services Bldg, Room 214
We may not realize it, but almost every exchange is a
negotiation. Given that, it behooves us to hone our
negotiation skills. Negotiation is about more than fighting
for what you want. Effective negotiators determine what's
important to them, read nonverbal cues, ask the right
questions, uncover hidden assumptions, and discover common
ground. This session takes you through the steps of the
negotiation process and provides you with the tools and
confidence to create mutually agreeable results in any
situation. For more information on the Career
Development Workshops and to register for a session

June 20: 8:30-11:30am - Everyday
Ethics Workshop
University Services Bldg, Room 214
Ethics is about more than following the rules. Each day we
are called upon to make hard decisions without the benefit
of established guidelines. So what do we do? Some of us
refer to past experiences, some of us turn to religious
teachings, and still others consider cultural expectations.
This course will explore the meaning of ethics and examine
how we make ethical decisions. This course is a combination
of web-based instruction and classroom application.

June 27: Noon-1pm - The Value of
Connections: Networking as a Career Strategy workshop
University Services Bldg, Room
214
How can you gain information and advice from insiders about
the culture, business and expectations of a prospective
employer? How can you develop and mobilize a support group
that brings you referrals? Studies on effective networking
strategies and accounts from several successful job seekers
at the University of Arizona have shown that contacts and
networking are more productive than the traditional
job-hunt. In this workshop you will learn how to build a
network of contacts to assist you with identifying new
career opportunities, how to conduct informational and
referral meetings and how to set up a record keeping system
for contacts in your job search. For more information on the
Career Development Workshops call 621-7701 or register

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html
Register by mail
by downloading the form at:
http://www.azwatchyourcar.com/pdfs/WYC%20-%20application%20form%20for%20website.pdf
