Wow!!!!! WTG Club Prez for getting so much done at this week's meeting!  Here's the update on status on all of 'em now:

Opera - we're on!
Sign up on the sheet, get your permission form - and turn it in ASAP!!! First come, first served....forms accepted until 1/24/2011 (or until 50 student spots are full).

Candy Sales - awaiting principal approval! BUT COME GET A PERMISSION SLIP!
But we should move FAST when we get it! I'll call company - and get everything set up so we're ready to go! Must get PO approval ahead of time (I'm working on that).
IF YOU PLAN TO SELL CANDY, stop by the library, get a permission slip form signed and back to me - I can't order until we get all of those in!

Podcasting - We're READY!
Rules will be designed and posted by one of the podcast teams (you know who you are!). We'll come up with "Final" Party Date in the next week and people can start making their podcast book trailers.....help will be provided any Wednesday after school. Can work in teams or individually. Can submit more than one! MUST have parent signature on revised Multimedia Use & Consent FORM to be able to attend the party. The Party will showcase all of the commercials while we eat snacks :). You MUST agree to write a Thank You Letter for the funders of the camera and snacks!

Shopping - We're going shopping!!!!  The officers are finishing up the RFPs for the Borders/Half Price Book store field trip.  You can ONLY GO ON THE TRIP if you SOLD AVON or SOLD CANDY. :)
