We still have several vacancies on the board that I
would love to fill. If you can make just 4 meetings a year you are a
candidate for the spot. We need help with ideas to make our chapter
a great organization for fun and fellowship. You can see all the
members in living color on our web page. (http://www.psualumnidayton.org)
I would like to encourage more of you to become
life-time members of the alumni association. Instructions are on our
web page. We will give you a free 1 year local membership if you
sign up for a life-time when using our code (AIQ).

PENN STATE CREAMERY
|
The Creamery is one of the most well loved sites on
campus. Approximately 500,000 ice cream cones are sold here each
year. Cheese, butter, and other dairy products are also sold at the
Creamery. These dairy products are produced in Borland Lab, located
directly behind the Creamery and are used throughout the campus at the
dining commons, the Nittany Lion Inn, and the Hetzel Union Building.
Ben and Jerry actually took a correspondence course through Penn State to
learn about ice cream production.
