Fall Planning Meeting is August 7, 2008, 12:00pm, at Grace Hills Church.
Let April know if you can make it.
There is lots of room for involvement.
We have more planning and details to include and anyone interested in planning and helping is more than welcome!
This isn’t exactly a co-op but we are also not interested in running the show, please let April know how you can help.
Nothing is set in stone so ideas are welcome.
Specific details and costs are yet to be determined. Just know that our goal is to keep the costs as reasonable as possible. In most cases, the cost will be just to cover materials and building use fee.
REACH 4-H will have a new time to accommodate our activities. They will meet from 1:30-3:00. It looks like we’ll have two class times each week for the fall; with science divided into two classes, one for older kids, one for younger. This is the schedule she worked out based on our discussion. She’s created a week or two between classes for breathing room. And of course, Thanksgiving through New Years off.
