A warm candle sitting in a frosty window, a bright star against the blackest sky, a stalwart lighthouse on the edge of the sea . . . MNU is like a shining light on a hill, saving some from destruction and illuminating the path home. But in the approaching millennium, the path may seem harder to find among the distractions of life. For a few days in October, alumni and friends are invited to follow the light back to MNU and join in a celebration of Christ, friendship, memories and the bright future awaiting the university. The festivities begin on Thursday, October 21, with the opening of the Country Store and Autumn Auction.
People are so friendly and generous.
I'm always amazed at how spontaneous the giving is. The giving spirit of MNU friends starting back in 1973 with the first auction. All proceeds from the Auction go toward student scholarships. Currently 80 students receive financial help due to the Auction. They work four hours during the Auction, and when I'm with them, it brings to life what this work is all for.
