Hi Team,

I again cannot attend this next meeting:.
This fall has been crazy and I should have looked at my schedule better.  Please see the revised (added to) CSI Team Schedule on the calendar tab.  I have decided to open my home for Library Hours on several TUESDAYS, which is an OPTIONAL "Open House" sort of time for any student and/or Event Coach to come to my home to do any or all of the following:
Browse through our CSI resources and borrow what they need for their event(s):

• books
• DVDs
• CDs
• supplies
• coach's manuals

Arrange to meet with others (any time or duration during those hours):
Event Partners

• take practice tests
• practice event skills
• go over supply kits

Get extra help from:

• Event Coaches
• Me (Head Coach)
• Have a specific time/place to study with others

Again, this time is optional and is just being set aside in my schedule, not only to help you, but to keep my own students "on track" with a firm day and time to "do CSI"...LOL!  The extended amount of time is so that people with varying schedule needs can hopefully find a time during those 6 hours that work for them.

Thanks.....

Team Meeting TONIGHT 7pm

Write It Do It students will be working on a practice "test".

Info about the Virtual SO will be announced.

Help on Resource Pages will be a available.

Calendar Updates...

We are canceling the meeting for this week.  Too many people have conflicts, including my family.  Our next Team Meeting is Thursday, October 24th @ 4pm @ the Wagenmaker's Home. 

The Regional date has been set for Saturday, March 15th, 2014.  It will be at Lansing Community College (as it always has been).  I have updated calendar on the blog.

Contact your event partner(s) and get with them if possible over the next two weeks (either, by phone or in person).  Splitting up the events between event partners should be done before the next meeting.  I want to see highlighted rule books showing who is covering what (if you have an event partner). If that makes no sense to you, that is okay... just ask someone (even me if necessary).


We still have spots on both teams... so if you want to build friendships, have fun, and learn something new.... contact me!

Thanks.....

Info Meeting and more....

We had an Information Meeting on Thursday, August 28th.

This first meeting of the school year was geared toward new people who indicated an interest in CSI.  You did not have to attend the meeting to be a part of the team.

We are planning on having the first official Team Meeting on Thursday, September 19th at 7 PM.  Email Coach Parker for directions to the meeting.

Students interested in the team should review the event list by 9/9/13 (or as soon as they can) and email their preferences to Coach Parker.  Basically, they should copy and paste the list from the event tab into an email and indicate one of the following for each event at their level:

Yay!
Yes
Maybe
No
Yuck!

At this first meeting, we'd like to give the kids their 1st event assignment so they can get started.
