PARTY PARTY

This is a reminder that the River Kids family gathering is scheduled for this Friday at the 21 O'Fallon Building (That's the actual address.) from 4-6pm...this is the home office for the William H. Kerr Foundation.  All family members are welcome to attend.  I need to hear numbers so we can order the correct amount of pizza.  Please reply to this email with the number of people you expect to have there.

Also, River Kids and family members are invited to bring an item for a time capsule.

Kids are also invited to give a speech.  I need to know about this ahead of time.

Invitation to Parents

I would like to recruit one more adult to help out with the trip tomorrow

and Saturday.  If any of you are able and interested in joining in the fun,
please let me know.  We can do without, but it would be nice to have the
extra hands.

Last Chance

I have 11 kids in for the trip this weekend.  More are welcome, but if this

is the final number, then I may rent a van instead of a bus.  If you have
not replied, this is your last chance to let me know.

REMINDERS FOR TOMORROW'S TRIP

Just a couple reminders for those going on the trip tomorrow -

We will be meeting at NCS at 8am.  I'll be driving a van now instead of
using a bus.

Bring the necessary paperwork.  We'll get all of it in line before leaving.

We plan to leave at 8:30am.

Make sure you have -

   - A lunch/snack/drinks for Friday on the way down.
   - Rain gear - probably necessary gear this go around
   - A journal and pencils

We will return a little before 3pm on Saturday.  Parents please be at NCS by
3pm for pickup.

FYI - We are planning on canoeing out to our campsite in a private area of
the lake surrounded by next to nothing.  That said, we'll still be in cell
range.  (Ironic, huh?)

My cell in case you need to call us is 314-680-9442.  If you can't reach me,
Theresa's (Land for Learning staff) cell number is 618-967-6876.

My final count was 13...if any extra show up, they'll have to ride on the
roof!  Hee haw!
