The second trip payment of $2,267 was due on 10/17. If you haven’t sent it in already, please make sure it gets to the Business Office this week. You can make payments over the phone by calling Karen Yarra at (413) 529-3289 in our Business Office.
Our next scheduled trip meeting (10/27) is cancelled. (I will most likely be out all next week.)
–> In place of that meeting you are all expected to share a meal with your accountability partner that day. At that connection point please discuss how you’d like to receive support before and during the trip as well as any other questions you may have for each other. Also, spend some time thinking about what each of you would like to do for the trip talent show! Email me your talent presentation ideas after you meet! 🙂
Our next trip morning meeting will be on Thursday, 11/10 at 7:30am in the PA Room. Sako and Lucy will be giving their presentations at the meeting.
The following people have yet to send me their presentation topic picks. Please do so by the end of this week: Chris, Parker, Olivia, David, June, Linnea
During the second trimester we will continue to have morning meetings on blue Thursday mornings at 7:30am in the PA Room. Meetings will run for at most 30 minutes.
Two events to make sure you have on your calendar:
Sunday, January 8th, 2023: Fun day trip all around the area! We will depart at 7:45am from Reed and return at around 6:30pm.
Sunday, February 12th, 2023@ 6 to 7pm:Packing meeting in the Dodge Room in Reed! Everyone must show up fully packed for the trip! Family and friends are welcome to attend! It’s super fun!
144 days until we depart… but who’s counting? 🙂
Here’s what we covered at this morning’s meeting:
Zoe and Lucy gave great presentations on Maori Art and Queenstown. Links to their slides are on the portal page.
Everyone took the names quiz. The average score for our whole group as a 61%. We need to get this raised! Please take the time to learn everyone’s first and last names. Yes, spelling counts! Our top scorers were: Liz (95%), Alyssa (93%), and Sako (90%).
We took a look at the newly posted trip packing list and gear recommendations pages. Both of those pages are on the portal page. Everyone needs to look over both pages and let me know ASAP if they have any questions.
Everyone now has an accountability buddy. Work with this person. Get to know them. Support each other.
A few people still need to choose their presentation topics and send them to me. Again, all of this information is on the portal page. I will assign topics to people who don’t make their choices by tomorrow night.
