WEEK OF 9/20/21
HL’S PIECES
Dear Red Lions,
I hope you are all excited about TD Community Night starting at 8:30pm!!!! It will be the first ever fully live and outdoor Community Night we have done so it will be an adventure! Please make sure to come early – 8:15pm – to grab a seat in the TD Courtyard. You’ll see that we have turned the upper courtyard into a stage and the lower courtyard into audience seating. We have to divide up the audience into smaller groups so please stay in your area during the performance. At roughly the one-hour mark, we plan to do a pizza intermission and then resume for part 2 of the evening. Please note that this is a LIVE event! So all performances will either be performed in-person in the TD courtyard or live streamed from the TD Dining Hall. There will not be a Zoom option to watch the performance.
Congratulations to our Art Studio Aides, Kat Melnyk and Naomi Sellers, for a super successful tote bag workshop to relaunch our TD Art Studio. Our “photo of the week” shows the art making in progress. After more than a year of being closed, it’s nice to see art once again taking place in our studio!
The workshop was so successful that they will be doing it again next Saturday from 1:30-3pm. Please see below for more information. Here are some more fun designs:
And a quick announcement about the TD Aides Office/Package Center next to entryway D…
Please make sure that you are sending your packages to the Yale Shipping Center and NOT directly to TD.
Student Name

250 Church Street, Lower Level
New Haven, CT 06510-1714
We’ve had a problem with some random deliveries dropped at the gate that may or may not be making their way to TDers. So please make sure you send your packages to the Shipping Center so that it can be properly processed and delivered to us.
Please note that we will be shifting the start time of the TD Package Center to 10am since we have so few students coming at that time. So our new hours starting this week are:
1pm - 5pm
Here are some more important TD events and dates for the next two weeks:
