Jolly Jaunt....Brrr....

The Jolly Jaunt was a great time! A whole bunch of members showed up and I was so happy!


Timmy and I told Santa what we wanted for Chistmas. :) Santa told us that one of us has been bad and might get coal unless we shape up.


Allison almost fell in this hole.


Timmy is so sure that he's getting what he asked Santa for.


We raised over $1600! Thank you to our amazing chapter. And a special thank you to Timmy - our fabulous Historian for taking pictures and going above and beyond. :)

Welcome!

I would like you all to say congratulations to Nick as he takes over the Treasury position for our chapter of BPA. Sadly, Chris is unable to continue in this position for personal reasons. We will miss her and thank her for her help! But let's take a moment to say welcome to Nick as he takes over the position. If you remember, Nick and Chris ran against each other and it was a tight race. It's only appropriate that Nick take on the position, and I'm sure he'll do a great job. I already have him rolling $6,000 in quarters. :) Thanks Nick!

Just For Fun!

So, if your life was a movie title, what would it be? Mine might be "Psycho". :)

BP's Got Talent! YAY Curtis!

Congratulations to Curtis for winning first place in the talent show! If you weren't there, Curtis sang Flake by Jack Johnson. He had the crowd into it and it even looked like he winked at Ms. Fiero. Way to go, Curtis! What did you guys think of the talent show?

Thanks to the alumni that were there! I saw Beth, Sarah, Shaun, Kevin, Melissa, Sam...and a bunch of others! :) Thanks for supporting! Dallas, here we come!

A special thanks to everyone who helped in large or small ways. You know it can't be done without a small army. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

A message from the president

Event Deadlines are quickly approaching and maybe you still have no idea where to start? Well, first of all you need to go to the events webpage (http://www.bpanet.org/events/_doc/2009/2009WSAPguidelines.pdf) and look at the events. There are plenty of them for everyone. All different shops and interests can find something for to suit your needs. There are group competitions, individual, judged, and computer events, for those who don't like to present in front of people. With over 50 events in all, I'm sure you'll be able to find something. One person can do up to 3 computer events and 2 judged events, with one being a team, but this isn't advised. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If it's your first year, maybe you just want to try one or two events. Just remember that you have to let Mrs. Sylvia or Mrs. Powers know what events you want to compete in by the next meeting, which is next Monday, November 24. This is because we can only take so many people for each event and if there's an over-book of people, we might have to have a small "in-school" competition for those who want to compete at states.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or email one of the officers!
Sarah, President.

Shout Out to our Southeastern Peeps!

Hello to Mrs. Clifford and the awesome students that we were introduced to today. My officers enjoyed being at your school and look forward to getting to know you better from now until states. Hopefully we'll be able to help you out as you assemble your new chapter!

I guess your first order of business would be to let Mrs. Clifford know if you want to join BPA and then she'll register you. After that, start preparing, preparing, preparing!

Feel free to read this blog - you might be able to get a lot of good information as well as some nonsense too! Thanks for being great hosts. We'll see you around!

Your Historian Here!

Hello everyone! Timmy here and being elected as the new Historian of the chapter means I have to create a newsletter for the chapter! But I do have one problem; I can't think of what to call it! I'm having a brain block and I need the chapter's help. So comment on this post if you have any ideas of what to call the chapter newsletter or even if you have any ideas on topics I could post on the newsletter. Much appreciated!

-Timmy.
