Beta Announcements 3/22/16

-Thank you for responding about the possible outreach on May 14. We will let you know soon whether or not we are doing it.

-Next Saturday, April 2 we would like to meet and put some mimes together to make a new DRAMA video for the banquet. Tentative time frame would be late morning to late afternoon. If you would like help with this please let Tim know by today!!!

-Saturday, May 7 is our all-day workday at Carlos and Migdalia’s. We would like to know if it works for you guys to switch that workday to Friday, May 13. Please let Rachael know whether or not this works for you by this Saturday, March 26.

-Because it often causes supper with our families to be rushed, we are wondering if it works for you guys/if you guys are interested in moving practice times half an hour later. So instead of 6-8:30pm, we would have practice from 6:30-9pm. Please talk with your parents and let Rachael know if you’re interesting in doing this and if works for you by this Saturday, March 26.

-There is still time to do a testimony for the banquet! If you would like to do one, please email it to rod.ren@hotmail.com by this Saturday, March 26.

-The deadline for responding about the DRAMA banquet is this Thursday, March 24! If you have not responded yet, please do so! You can do that online on the DRAMA website.
