NEW Camping Trip Confirmation!

Good news about the camping trip!  We have been able to move our date back to October 27-29, 2006.  This change will put us in bunkhouses, but will also allow us to ride horses at camp and perhaps take advantage of another activity.  There are several choices including archery, climbing wall, low adventure course, and high adventure course.  Pat will choose archery unless you tell her that you’d like something else.  The form will be going to Meriwether this week, so call or Email asap.

Warning!  Warning!  No one can go camping who has not turned in her
signed-by-a-parent health form.  You can download a copy at

If we can snag Mrs. Lott or Jessie, we can finally try geocaching.  Check out http://www.studio2b.org/lounge/gs_stuff/ip_tech.asp; we may want to work on this one.

We can attend Aaron’s opera Friday night at LaGrange College, and maybe eat dinner in LaGrange if we can get there in time.  There are many inexpensive Mexican and barbeque restaurants if we decide to do that.  We only need reservations for our camp activities, so we can make most of our decisions at our next meeting.

Next meeting:  Friday, October 20, 2006 - bring your health forms!

We’ll be as usual from 7-10, and we have some work to do to plan our camping trip and our November and December activities.  Some of you are working on IPP’s and Studio 2B books, so if you need some time at the meeting for a group activity, just let Pat know (pat_callaway @ bellsouth.net ). 

Mrs. Unger has come across some interesting science websites.  One is biographical information on scientists, at least some are women:  http://www.profiles.nlm.nih.gov (think career exploration) and the other is on optical illusions:  http://www.piscol93.uab.es/ilusions.

Mrs. Gargiullo reminds anyone who wants calendars that she will go shopping for you on October 29.  Whatever you need, she will need to know about before she goes.

Sally Harrell was really interesting

Everyone who attended our September meeting really enjoyed hearing about Sally’s career in social work and in politics.  It was nice to put a face with a name that we’ve seen on yard signs, and several girls even got help with their AP US History homework.  All in all, it might have been worth missing the Lakeside-Tucker game.
