  •  Asking for crayons and markers
  • Items will be collected at April Meeting

 Reading Rally

New Date: Wednesday, May 17th

Book

  •   The Max Science Adventure series books break down the boundary that has traditionally separated large format picture books from books that focus on science education. The beautifully illustrated stories appeal to all ages as Max (the dog) and his friends use their space adventures to bring a message of inspiration and hope to the human race. At the same time, “Big Kid Box” sidebars provide older children and parents with clear explanations of the sophisticated science that lies behind the scenes. The books always conclude with an activity suitable for family or classroom use.
  •   Books will be under $10 each (including shipping)
  •   Finalizing class room numbers with school

Assembly

  •   Author Jeffrey Bennett will do 2, 45 minute assemblies for the kids.

Stay tuned . . . 

Treasurer Update

We’ve made a great deal of progress in working with EWI Corporate on our renewals!  However, as we have a new contact, we would appreciate it if you would continue to notify Cyndi Murren (cmurren@einsteinnoah.com)  when you send in your renewal fees and when you receive your receipts from EWI Corporate.  Thank you.

Sargent at Arms Update!

Sargent at Arms Sara Golden and Asst. Sargent at Arms, Crystal Frank are receiving RSVP’s through the online system EZ Register. It is very important to RSVP before the deadline, including any guests, as we use this information for our head count for dinner.  If you are paying by credit card, please pay when you RSVP through EZ Register.  It is more cost effective for us as a chapter to process the credit cards through this site.  If you wish to pay by check, select that option and bring your check to the meeting. We do not have a petty cash fund, so please do not bring cash.
