Our third meeting

Our third meeting will be on Sunday, May 4th. This will be our "field trip" experience, when we'll practice our ambassadorial skills. We'll meet at the park and ride lot in Tacoma, across from Frieghthouse Square, at 2:00 P.M. Not sure where that is? Here is a link: http://www.piercetransit.org/tds2.htm

From there, the delegation will take the light rail train to the museum district, and visit the Museum of Glass. We'll have a tour of the gallery and the "hot shop" where glass art is created. Here is a link to the museum: http://www.museumofglass.org/ Please bring $4.00 cash for the tour.

We should be back at the park and ride lot by 5:00 P.M.

Our Second Meeting

Our second meeting will be Sunday, March 9, again from 2-5 P.M. Please make sure you set your clock for Daylight Savnigs Time, as that is the day we "spring forward."

The meeting will be held at Round Table Pizza located at 7011 27th St W, University Place, WA 98466. Please bring money for pizza, and we'll practice "delegation" table manners. This is important, as we'll be eating our meals in public, still representing our country and People to People! It's not the same as eating lunch in your school's cafeteria.

Parents, you do not need to attend this meeting, and in fact it might be better if you don't. We want to practice our manners in a "real life" setting, and you won't be with us in the trip. Plus, the room only seats 44, and our delegation has 32 delegates and three adults, so there won't be many extra seats.

Who is the Mona Lisa

Perhaps the most famous painting we'll see in the Louvre is the Mona Lisa. For years, people have debated whom the painting depicts. Has this question finally been answered? Check out this article:

Travel Dates

Please understand I have no control over travel dates. I also want to know when we will travel, as we would also like to plan our summer! I've been told we should have the dates by the end of the month.

That having been said, as far as I am aware everyone should be out of school by June 26th. If that is NOT the case, please let me know right away. I don't know if it would make a difference, but I will pass on any such information to the national office. Thank you!

It is very important that parents and delegates attend this meeting. If you cannot, please let me know ASAP. Also, I’ll need to have everyone’s completed Health Form by that date; so far, I have received two completed forms.
