07/24/09 12:50 PM #5     Kimberly Francois What's the exact date? In message #2 it says Saturday June 10th, but June 10th will be on a Thursday next year.

08/04/09 06:50 PM #6     Eliza Pastrana (Holm) Kim Its June 11-13th. I just double checked to make sure. While im writing this, can we all take a look at who hasnt registered and if we recognize someone PLEASE ask them to register? Thanks :) Eliza

08/06/09 04:52 PM #7     Alundra Gibbs This mabe to late, but can there be some sort of event where we could bring our kids? Most of us only see and hear about the little people through Facebook/Myspace/Twitter etc. It would be nice to see some of these ever so talked about blessings in person.

08/08/09 01:40 PM #8     Shemair Sweeney (Dorelus) I also think an informal family event would be nice.

08/15/09 09:50 PM #9     Eliza Pastrana (Holm) If someone can help coordinate maybe Sunday a picnic or something family orientated thatd be great. We can always use the help. Janelle, Mary and I are already doing the planning for Friday and Saturday. Any volunteers? If it could be a free event we wont have to add the price for the registration and overall cost. Sunday isnt planned yet anyways so maybe a picnic for the family would be a great idea. Whoever volunteers, just write to us all and give us your thoughts :)

08/15/09 10:10 PM #10     Eliza Pastrana (Holm) LaTonya just had a great idea for Sunday. We could pick a beach and bring the kids and have a nice beach day with whoever wants to go. We all bring what we want to eat and drink and just pick a spot. She mentioned itd be like senior skip day lol!!! Whats a good beach we can all meet at? Good parking and easy access?

08/18/09 12:17 PM #11     Alundra Gibbs A free beach event on Sunday sounds great! I volunteer to help put together some simple fun games for the kids. This is down my alley I like to see the kids enjoying themselves. Yeah just like we did during our Senior skip days...Yeah LaTonya!!!
