WARM UP AMERICA FOUNDATION
Please knit or crochet as many 7" by 9" sections as you can. In 2 weeks, Ashley W. will collect them at the Friday Ambassadors meeting. Each section is worth 1/2 hour of volunteer time, for a maximum of 3 hours of credited volunteer time (although you can certainly continue making sections if you want!). The recommended needle size is 7 to 10-1/2 if you are knitting. TIP: Cut out a 7" by 9" piece of cardboard to help guide you.
Questions? Contact Ashley W. or Ms. Childers.

Coffeehouse Benefit Concert
The Sister City Coffeehouse Benefit Concert will be held Friday, February 24, 2006 from 6 pm to 9:30 pm. The event will take place at South Campus in the cafeteria. All proceeds of this event go to "White Bear Lake Adopt-A-City" to aid teens that have been displaced from Hurricane Rita and relocated to the town of Sulphur, LA.
Auditions for the musical portion of the event are taking place Thursday, Feb. 9 & Friday, Feb. 10 in the South Campus Theatre 2:45-4 pm. Audition forms should be returned to the office by Monday, Feb. 6.
We need Ambassadors to help with many aspects of this project. There is a sign-up sheet in Ms. Childers' room (room 330) for each activity that we need help with. Listen to the morning announcements for after school meetings! Contact Kate P. or Ms. Childers if you want to help (either before or during the event).
