March of Technology is this Saturday from 8:30am-5:00pm. It would be great if anyone could come out and help OTC with their project. This would count towards project points.
Convoy of Hope Training- This will be held March 7th, 2008 from 1pm-4pm. If you are planning on going to Panama, this is a MUST for you. Please e-mail Laura Zirfas for more information on this.
Tommy The Turtle (CORRECTION)- I recently posted that this project date was set for March 14th, 2008 at Hallsville Elementary School. However, I recently learned that the school district is having a parent teacher conference that day and all the kids will be out. We'll be discussing possible dates within the week. Keep checking for updates. Sorry for the confusion.
