A few reminders

Hi all,

Just a few reminders.  If your daughter hasn't already done so, please remind them about the email portion of the Computer Expert badge.  I have explained to them several times that the patch work is their responsibility, not yours.  The details are posted on the blog.

April Showers is coming just around the corner.  I will send out a more detailed email, but please save the dates.  The bag drop off will be either April 13 or 14th.  Please let me know if you have a preference.  I have always done it on the Friday after school, but I got a lousy jury summons and I am afraid to commit to anything on Friday afternoon.  The bag pick up will be on April 20 at around 10:00 a.m. and we will be done by 12:00. 

Thanks and I'll see you on Monday!

Last Step of Computer Expert Patch

The last step that the girls need to complete their computer expert badge is to do one of two things.  They were given the options at the meeting and they have each chosen which they would prefer to do.  Some of them would like to do both options. 

Option #1 - Send me an email.  They can send me a note from your email address.  I doubt that many have their own email addresses and I will obviously recognize who the email is from.

Option #2 - Send an email to the President describing something they are passionate about.  A link to the White House Correspondence can be found here:  http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments

There is a box at the bottom of the form where you can request a reply.  The girls were very excited about this and several of them gave examples of what they feel passionate about.  I would LOVE to see a copy of their letters if you can sneak me a copy. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

P.S.  The next patch they are working on is a First Aid Patch.  If any of my nurse moms are interested in talking to them at a meeting, let me know.  I will send you the details of what the patch "recommends".
