We have finished fundraising! HOORAY!! So now you want to know when and where to meet, what to bring and all that right? So here are the details: Tumbler Ridge residents MEET BEHIND POLICE STATION ON THURSDAY MAY 24 @ 8 AM. Bring a bag lunch or money for lunch (100 raised doesn't include lunch on first day). Bring your own bedding, pillow, foamy!!! Bring towel, washcloth and your own shampoos and soaps. WE ARE STAYING AT KINGS COLLEGE, there are 10 rooms, two beds per room (1 for the chaperone...) and no linens are provided. The rooms are spacious, but they are dorm rooms.
The chaperones and orginizers are doing their best to choose roommates for you, and are trying to meet all the requests. This isn't always easy or possible, each person has requests, and the rooms have a limit to 5 per room. If you find a friend not in your room -- don't despair! We are really in the rooms for such a short time JUST TO SLEEP so you can hang with your pal all day long.

To the rest, you are now aware of where you are at (after the meeting last Thursday) and if you owe the food money or not. Remember that money is due on the 15th (this Tuesday) of May. Also remember that you have two more days of fundraising to raise money. 1 on the 17th of May (if you work, then contact Colette and she may be able to get flyers to you on Wed) and the Saturday Auction.

Correction on Room Details
After discussing the rooms with the facility that we are staying in, it turns out that the rooms are a bit larger than originally thought! So the powers that be (hail the bus driver & chaperones) decided we could put 5 per room. That means two less rooms are being rented and you will have 3-4 others staying in a room (plus a chaperone). The adults like this better because there will be less rooms to "supervise" and you should like it better because it means more youth to stay awake with? Chat with? throw pillows at?
DON'T FORGET THAT YOU NEED TO BRING ALL YOUR OWN BEDDING AND TOWELS!
Less thant two weeks to go! Are you freaking out yet?

Auctions Around the World
Our final Fundraiser is on it's way in less than two weeks, and it's gonna be awsome!! It's on May 19th starting at 4 and running until 8. We need youth there from 2:30 onward to set up and expect to be there until 9. (Breaks allowed)
The title of this event is called AUCTIONS AROUND THE WORLD, featuring over 5 different kinds of auctions from YCBay auctions (run by Colette & using low tech runners instead the internet); to silent auctions that end when a candle burns out (ooh the suspense!); to loud boistrous English Auctions. Many parent have been donating wonderful new items for the auction, and if you have any items get them in to Joanna. We have our Wonder Woman talking to everybusiness in town and even some out of town for auction items and they are rolling in!
Jerrilyn wants all youth with talent to start planning something for entertainment, so get out your rusty accordians, your dusty juggling balls or your crusty dance shoes and start warming up! Or get out your unicycles DJ and warm up your musical fingers DR, KB, LM and tune your instruments!
This event has two days worth of "points" for those who really need the extra push towards making their fundraising goal. Just like the bottle drive if you attend both days you get twice what you would if you attended one day. So what's day two? It's actually the Thurdsay previous May 17th. We will be delivering flyers door to door all over town. If you can't make the 19th then plan on delivering flyers to get your fundraising points! And hey think of this: the more people know about the event the bigger the turn-out and the more money you all get!!! With this being our last fundraiser of four, lets end with a bang!

Bring your own Sleeping Bag
So here is the skinny for all youth and chaperones regarding the sleeping quarters for this trip.
There are two single beds in each room. Two people in each room will have to sleep on the floor or people will have to share single beds, which would get squishy. Everyone will have to bring bedding along (pillows, sleeping bags, sheets if you need and a foamy or something if they are sleeping on the floor. The facility is providing NO LINENS. (So pack accordingly including towels and facecloths if you want them!! )
We have 12 rooms booked, 45 bodies including all the youth and chaperones. IT'S GONNA BE COSY!! The Bus Driver and Chaperones will be dividing up y'all into groups per room, if you wanna plead your case now is the time to do it, but no promises!
