The annual Siblings Weekend is a tradition here at Cabrini. The event is sponsored by the CAP board. It begins on Friday, Feb. 19 and ends on Sunday, Feb. 21.
Emma Legge, director of student activities, said that this year's familial gathering has been moved from its typical April slot to February in an attempt to get more people involved.
She said that in April, many students are preoccupied with exams, so they are unable to attend.
A showing of the computer-animated hit movie "Antz" will kick off the weekend on Friday night at 7 p.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall.
A carnival, which according to Legge is one of the most popular activities, will take place on Saturday in the Founder's Hall gym.
The carnival will offer games with prizes, food such as cotton candy and popcorn and several types of arts and crafts.
People can take in a performance by a magician Saturday night at 7 p.m. in the Widener Center Lecture Hall, followed by an ice cream party in the gathering area at 8 p.m.
Legge said that Sunday would be more of an "open" day. The only major activity planned is a chance for people to get personalized greeting cards.
That will take place outside Founder's Hall Dining Hall from 11:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.
The Dixon Center will also be open for recreational activities such as swimming.
All events are free. The only cost is $20 for meals.
Legge said that the meals planned are geared towards the sharing aspect of the weekend. Foods such as chicken nuggets and pizza will be served.
While all are invited to attend, Legge said that the age range of the siblings that participate is usually about 13 years old and below, and that determined the activities that were planned. About 100 siblings are expected to attend.
Anyone interested in signing up for the weekend should visit the student activities office in the Widener Center.
