Parent Meeting (4.16.13) Recap

Thanks to all the families that were able to make it to the Parent Meeting last night! We are so excited to walk through this process together, and know that God is going to show up in amazing ways throughout our preparations and the trip. We will continue to post valuable resources to the blog after every meeting to help you stay informed and connected. Please make sure you are also signed up for the appropriate text list so that we can send you meeting/deadline reminders and other announcements. You must resubscribe to the blog every year, so please make sure you are on the list!

First, here is the Parent Meeting Powerpoint that we walked through at last night's meeting. The powerpoint contains information on deadlines, contact information, and other practical resources.

Next, I've attached the checklist from the meeting: Checklist #1. We will give each student a checklist at every meeting with important information about upcoming assignments and deadlines. Please make sure you read over the checklist and return the listed documents. The following documents were included in your packets and/or listed on the checklist and are due at the next team meeting on May 14th:

• ORPHANetwork Trip Application. 
• A copy of each student's passport 
• A WCC Parental Consent Form (Many of you already have this one on file from either HS CBA Day or the HS Ski Trip. Email Alexis at akincaid@wcchapel.org if you are unsure whether or not you have one on file for this year.)

Finally, I have also uploaded the Support Letter Instructions. This document has important information on how to write and send support letters. Please read over the document carefully. You must turn in your stamped, addressed letters by Sunday, April 28th and the Student Ministries Staff will put them in the mail for you. If you have already sent your letters, please let Alexis know how many you sent.

Our next team meeting is Tuesday, May 14th from 6:30-8:30pm in the SM Worship Room.

If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Alexis at 941-1241 or akincaid@wcchapel.org. Thanks, everyone!
