Update- Pop Cans, Beach Clean up

Hey guys.

This has been quite the weekend.

Emma, Charlee, Quinn and I got to go to the SOLV beach clean up at Seaside again on Saturday! It was incredibly rainy, and kinda cold, but it was worth it, I think.

Today, we went to collect for the pop can drive. We earned about $20, which is really cool! This would be a cool thing to do to earn money maybe about every month! However, there was a little bit of chaos. If you wanna read more about it, check the website under "News".

Tomorrow, I'm finally going to go and get the announcement made about the auditions. We talked a little about it this weekend, and we think that flyers at both the schools would also help. Mostly because not everyone really listens to the announcements.

Also, the date for the Tigard High auditions has changed. They'll now be held on Monday, April 13 from 11-2 pm. That's a day that we don't have school, and it's also the same weekend as the Fowler auditions. Let me know if you can still make it!

Other than that, there's the 1 in 3 campaign to make flyers for.

ALSO! Please check the dates from the last post to let me know which ones you'll be able to make. I really need to know!

Oh, one more thing. Info about "The Rescue" has been posted on the Invisible Children website! My computer is old, so I'm not able to load the video, but I know that everyone will be walking to Pioneer Courthouse Square. It sounds like it's gonna be awesome! Tell your parents, and let me know if you can come. We need to arrange carpooling for that day. Or, you know, at least a meeting place, considering we'll be walking most of the way.

Thanks guys!

Let me know about the dates you're free on, or if I messed up on something here, and I'll put you on, or take you off, the list!
For those who haven't heard yet, Do Something is putting on a new campaign called the 1 in 3 Campaign, for the one in three teens who are in an abusive relationship. Do Something is sending out free packets of 3 bracelets, two black, and one blue, to represent those statistics. The hope is that we'll pass them out to everyone we know and spread the word. We've decided that we'll put up posters with several facts, and different resources for those who are facing that type of problem, at both the middle school, and the high school, and we'll also put together a booth for the high school, as well as pass out the bracelets. I ordered 70 sets of bracelets, so once they come, we'll talk a bit more about how and when we're going to do this.
Other than that, I think we're all pretty much caught up! I'll check to see what dates we can reserve Summerlake Park for the carnival, we'll get going on putting the audition info in the morning announcements, and we'll hopefully have the poster designs and the pop can flyers ready soon.
Thanks guys!
