Agenda: December 6, 2023
Join us as we pack the house for our women’s and men’s basketball teams! While this event is called APAC the House, of course we’d be more than happy to welcome our civil service and faculty colleagues. Admission is FREE for employees and children 12 and under. All general admission is $8 for other family and friends above 12 years old that wish to attend.
Looking forward to seeing you there next Thursday night!
