URGENT: General Fund Balances PAST DUE

Greetings, all.

I hate to sound alarmist about this, but I have a number of travelers (7, at last count) that still owe a balance toward the General Fund. As you recall, this is the amount per traveler that is needed to cover our shuttle/busing expenses to and from Minneapolis, as well as our obligatory tips to the tour director and guides.

I was expecting that travelers would make any final payments at our last meeting, but that did not completely happen.

If your balance sheet contained any amount in the middle column (General Fund Balance), please get a check to me in that amount, made out to Chi-Hi. I must be able to order the check (from our school account) next week for the amount we owe, and it takes a few days for this process to happen, because of the signatures involved. If I don't have those funds by next week Tuesday, I will be in serious danger of not being able to get the funds we need, as the school offices are not open/personnel are not always present once summer hours begin.

Reminder: FINAL Pre-Travel Meeting May 23rd!

Greetings, Travelers!

With less than one month to go before we depart, it is time for our last pre-travel meeting!

As discussed previously, we will meet at 6:00 PM, May 23rd (Sunday) in my room (136). We will be discussing final departure details, packing, money and all that good stuff. Travelers who still have an obligation for tips & busing (general fund) will pay for it at that time.

I'll confess that the end of the school year has me in quite a whirlwind of last-minute obligations, so I'll be lucky to have everything ready to go for Sunday. Grading, my own assignments to get finished for my grad classes, trip planning, and the last "push" to finals are really sucking up all of my spare time, so I apologize if it takes me a while to get back to you over the next couple of weeks.

It's a hectic time, but necessary if we want to finish strong, right? I'll see you Sunday. And good luck with your end-of-year projects, as well.

Butter Braid Order Delivery: 3:45 PM May 3rd!

Just a reminder...

If you sold Butter Braids they will be available for pick up after school tomorrow (May 3) in the Chi-Hi cafeteria. Please make plans to pick them up immediately after school, as the product is frozen and needs to stay cold.

Be prepared to deliver them ASAP or get them home to a freezer until delivery can be made.

Good luck!

Flight Information Has Arrived!!!

Much excitement! Our flight schedules have arrived! We will be discussing these at tomorrow's Lunch & Learn Meeting with students.

Before you look at the documents below...brace yourself. It looks like both groups have a pretty grueling flight schedule for departure and return. So begin preparing yourself for some long travel days. Bring a book!

Base Tour Flight Schedule

Extension Group Flight Schedule

At our next large group meeting (our last pre-departure get-together), we will be discussing packing restrictions and general rules of airline travel. It's getting real, folks!
