Fun Opportunity!

Hi Angela
Just thought I would send you a quick note to see if you might be aware of some families with children who would enjoy being extras in a film. My daughter is filming a short film called Breathing Lessons at the Vernon Community Arts Centre on March 18th from 9-12 and possibly another date during the week of March 27-April 1. She is looking for extras to be part of the classroom and will hopefully have the film ready to go to the Life is Good conference in May. If you wanted to pass along my phone number 250-572-3446 or email address donnavanderlip@hotmail.com or give me a call for more information that would be great too.

Outdoor Rec Centre Homeleaner Skate Times

Edited to add new skating time for January 10th, Monday.

Hello all,

I have organized a few skating times on the outdoor rink (by the Rec. Centre).

M. January 10, 10:30pm

F. January 14, 1:30pm

W. January 19, 1:30pm

There will be some opportunity to pick up some last minute spots as well, so I will email those out when I am able to get those.

Please note that there is not a supervisor, so make sure that either you stay with your children or that they are old enough to be on their own.

Sometimes the rink will set up nets and hockey to one side of the ice is a possibility.

Let me know if you have any further questions: sharibootsma@telus.net

Downhill Skiing Invitation

Dear skiing families.

First of all thank you all for the welcoming emails. I will hope to be able to offer you the same service that Holly Mitchell provided so efficiently. I will try to make the transition as smooth as possible. Since the group is already known as SOHE by all participants in the skiing as well as the resort, we will continue to identify ourselves as such.

I have booked the following dates for the 2010-11 season. Prices are the same as last year but you have the option to a two hour lesson for $18.00. Please make sure to mention wether you wish to book your children for the usual one hour for $10.00 or for the two hour.

Be sure to let me know which dates you are interested in and for how many skiers.

Date Lesson time

December 7 @ 10 AM
December 15 @ 10 AM
December 21 @ 10 AM
December 29 @ 10 AM
January 4 @ 10AM
January 11 @ 10AM
February 9 @ 10 AM
February 23 @ 10 AM
March 1 @ 10 AM
March 16 @ 10 AM

I will email you more information about the forms that need to be filled out as soon as I get them from Silver Star.

Warm regards,

Silver Star Downhill Skiing Invitation

Hello Again......
Well, I have taken your feedback, and along with our family schedule have complied a list of a few alternative ski/boarding dates for Silver Star this year.

Seems the end of the week works well, so we've requested most dates on Fridays. Here they are........

Jan 14th (Fri)
Jan 26th (Wed)
Feb 4th (Fri)
Feb 11th (Fri)
Mar 4th (Fri)
Mar 25th (Fri)

Prices are as follows, and lesson times will be firmed up when we've got all our registrations done. Earlier morning sessions seem to work best for having all the students together at relatively the same time. It worked fairly well when Holly scheduled them at 10am, but we have the option to go at 9:00 am, 11:00 am and noon as well. If you have any input, it's welcome...

Also, as Miracle of Peace stated in her previous e-mails, 2 hour lessons are an option, but it kinda works like this....... either "everyone" from our group is doing a 2 hr lesson on a given day, or a 1hr lesson. But the hill doesn't want it broken up between student in the group. It's kind of a 'hard-stop' administratively speaking, so to make it easy (chances of everyone wanting to pay for the extra hour are slim), for these alternative dates, we'll keep it to 1 hr lessons.

Pricing - per Student
$10.00 1 hr lesson
$ 5.00 lift ticket
$ 7.00 equipment rental (skiing or boarding)

Calculation - total for those with their own equipment = $15.00, and for those who need equipment = $22.00 per day

Pricing - Adults
No Lessons for Adults (we must follow incongnito)
$25.00 lift ticket
$10.00 equipment rental (same)

Pricing - Children under 5
Free lift ticket (but must still obtain a special lift ticket at the hill)
No lessons available (under the school pricing options - but at the hill as a separate offer - lessons are available for younger children)

I will forward the necessary paperwork to fill out when you respond, and can process everything from there.
Email me at kelliemast@... or call 833 5466 with any questions
Have a wonderful week........

Bowling Invitation

EDIT to ADD: Lincoln Lanes called me, and they need to change our December bowling date; their normal league is having a Christmas party on the day that we had booked,
Friday, December 17: 11:30-1:00. So, we've changed the date to Friday, December 10th: 11:30-1:00.

The next two bowling dates are as follows:

Friday, November 19: 11:30-1:00 @ Lincoln Lanes
Friday, December 10: 11:30-1:00 @ Lincoln Lanes (Edit: New Date)

The cost is $4.00/person. I think rather than people signing up with me, I'll make it a drop-in event. If you are coming on that day, please be there by 11:30 and we can form the groups based on who comes each time (first come first serve). If you come late, I can't guarantee who you'll be bowling with...and I think the whole idea is that we mix up the groups so it's not just families bowling with their siblings.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Christmas Craft Day Invitation

A Christmas craft day has been planned for Friday, December 3rd at 10:00am. There will be two main crafts available for your children. One of the crafts will be decorating a wooden 5X7 picture frame. This craft will cost $2.00 per frame. The other craft will be decorating gingerbread cookies. The cost for the gingerbread cookies will be $2.00 per child. The card making table will be set up also and that will be free for the kids to make cards to go along with their gifts. This will take place at Vernon Christian Fellowship Church.

Please RSVP to me at lina-r@shaw.ca and let me know if your children will be attending. We need to get a good idea of numbers to make sure we have purchased enough picture frames and made enough cookies.

Kind regards,


Lina Rogers

Beach Day In Winfield on Wednesday, July 28

Hello

We're going to Coral Beach on Wednesday afternoon (in Carr's Landing/Winfield area). I've heard it is a really nice beach complete with a wharf and dock. We're planning on seeing if some of the Vernon homelearners would like to meet us there as well. We'd enjoy it if you could join us too. Here are some directions I found online for getting there (I hope they're right - I've never been there).

http://www.kelownav acationrental. com/directions. html


Besides enjoying the beach and sunshine, I'd also like to take the chance to talk a bit, with those who are interested, about some teen workshops with SelfDesign High for this coming year. My son organized a film-making course earlier this year and the learners all really enjoyed it, we thought it would be great to discuss some other workshop/course ideas with other teens so that perhaps they could get something organized for September.

Please let me know if you think you might make it or if you can't make it but would be interested in getting together another time to talk about teen highschool workshop courses.

Thanks,
Heather
