ACIS Pontiac Sweepstakes are back - The Pontiac Pick Your Performance Machine Sweepstakes will provide the chance for another student or staff member from an ACIS campus to win a brand new Pontiac in 2007. In the last year ACIS has given away 2 Pontiac Solstice convertibles (valued at $24,500 each) to 2 lucky students from ACIS campuses, Western Kentucky University and St. Cloud State University. This year, Pontiac is raising the prize value and the winner will have the chance to choose a Pontiac vehicle of his/her choice valued up to $40,000. All you have to do is stop by the Beaman Center and fill out your entry form and drop it in the Pontiac kiosk. The sweepstakes ends April 28th and the winner will be drawn in the beginning of May.

The Belmont Weight Watchers group meets weekly and would love for you to join us. WW is the #1 weight loss program in America. The group meets each Wednesday at 12:30 in the Acklen Conference Room.

Steve Murphree is in search of homes with active termite infestations to include in his Sentricon termite colony elimination system enhancement research for the next 12-18 months. Active homes are those that have experienced swarms in recent months. Steve would prefer that the homes be in Nashville, Franklin or Murfreesboro and that the homeowner(s) not have a current termite contract with a pest control company. The termite control would be free and homeowner(s) would be required to sign a confidentiality and release form. Contact Steve at ext. 6221 or murphrees@mail.belmont.edu.
