Friday, November 2
Hi everyone! Sorry it took so long to get this next blog up, life has been very busy! Here is a list of the main things we talked about at this meeting...
* Two representatives came to talk to us about our possible spring break trip. We would be leaving after school on Friday (the last day of school before spring break) and coming home on Tuesday during Spring Break. There can only be 35 people on the trip, if there are more we will have to formulate a waiting list. We would drive to a city about 10 hours away and along the way we would stop in 3 towns to do a service project in the day and then we would have reflection and activites at the night. We would be sleeping in community centers, churches, schools, etc. We would also stop at two different colleges to take a tour along the way. The cost is $280, but the "Early bird" special is $260. We will be talking more about this in upcoming meetings!
*Holiday Bureau- this is a program that provides Christmas gifts to people in Washington County and the families are coming in the week of November 27th to fill out some forms. We need some people to come and babysit the children while their parents talk to the program directors. The dates/times are Nov. 27, 28, 29, 30 at 5pm-8pm and Dec. 1 at 9am-2pm. If you can make it any day please contact Abbie!
*If you have any t-shirt designs please bring them to the next meeting!!!
*Sunday, November 4 Ambassadors is running their traditional waterstop on White Bear Lake for the Strive Scholarship Race for the Rotary Club. Contact McKayla for more information.
*Please talk to Caitlin if you are interested in participating in Thanksgiving Meals on Wheels. You would have to get up pretty early on Thanksgiving Day and then we would go to help make and package Thanksgiving meals to people who can't afford to have a Thanksgiving meal.
*Thanks! Have a good weekend!!!
