Don't forget to vote on the poll for practice (closes at 7 PM every Monday and Wednesday)! We need to know how many people are coming to reserve the proper number of boats for practice, especially for this Sunday (Lake Gregory).
Reminder that Sunday practices are back to 9:00 AM

4. SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
Stephanie is at it again! Another opportunity to help support the local community.
It's that time again, when students start heading back to school. But do you know that many families cannot afford even basic classroom supplies? School on Wheels provides one-on-one tutoring for homeless children and they run entirely on volunteer support and donations.
For a full list of needed supplies, please see the Student Wish List. You can also email Stephanie for more details of the drive. Thanks!
Pearl's side note: School on Wheels is a great organization, I've been a volunteer tutor for 4-5 years and I can totally vouch for the work it provides to those in need. Somethings (in addition to the usual pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, etc) I'd suggest that students could use: USB flash drive, calculator, tech things that schools use.
5. YEAR END DINNER -- Sat 12/3
Thanks to the awesome work of the YE dinner committee (Janet, Denise, Marina, Jackie, James), we have booked our venue: Bliss525 in Long Beach.
It has great ambience, delicious food, a cash bar to buy juice (so you stay hydrated), and like last year, we've got our very own DJ Bakasan on the one's-and-two's.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "hmm.. how can I be more like the wonderful Pearl?" Well, now you can! Order a visor and you'll be one step closer!
Email Jackie for your very own visor ($10)! Note the deadline is tomorrow (Thursday) night! The visors will come in Space Dragons blue and once you get it, you'll have to get it embroidered by Ceez to get the full effect with the Space Dragons logo.
