Friends, How many of you would be interested in going to ski at Perfect North slopes in Indiana (1.5 hours driving from Lexington) on either Saturday, Jan. 12 or 19? The following Monday (1/21) will be a holiday for UK Campus because of the MLK Celebration Day. If you are interested in skiing together with a group of UK students (group rates are $47 including ski rental and free one-hour ski lesson for beginners vs. the advertised rate of $65), please kindly email me back at akali2@email.uky.edu and let me know you preference (Jan 12 or 19?). ***You do not have to be a student to come with us on this trip. You can invite your friends as well.*** I need to know in advance if there are enough people to go to get the group rates. Also, please let me know if you are available to drive (all drivers will receive gas reimbursement). Albert Kalim akali2@email.uky.edu

PTS Offers Shopping Shuttle for Students This Sunday...

Parking & Transportation Services, in cooperation with Student Government, will be providing free transportation for students between the UK campus and Fayette Mall on Sunday, December 2, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. By offering the Holiday Shopping Shuttle, PTS hopes to make transportation convenient for students who do not have cars on campus and for those who want to steer clear of holiday traffic.The CATS bus will pickup and drop off passengers on the north side of the mall at the entrance to Macy's.
