Please check your email for further detail; briefly, we are set to attend Sky High this Saturday, in Concord, from 1:00-2:30 or so. Please let me know right away if you plan on attending (by 9:00PM tonight). Also, please feel free to post to the blog if you need a ride or you can provide a ride. Rachel and I have gone here before--we played trampoline dodgeball, it was a lot of fun (and a really good workout).

1st IDEAL Family Dinner
Hi everyone!
The first family dinner at our house on Thursday was a success-- the delicious salmon (if I do say so myself) was perfectly complemented by J.C.'s inappropriate stories. :) Thanks to Jackie, J.C., Diana, Anthony, and Daishar for coming through... I really enjoyed having you all in our home, even if for a short while, and I do look forward to getting to know some of you more as we continue to have these dinners.
Next time, we're busting out the board games so bring your favorite game if you join us next week!
And Japhinma, let me know when you're going to claim one of these dinners to make your famous rice for us.

Hello all,
Please treat this space as a community-wide forum. You don't need my permission to post anything: you all have creative license. For example, if you have pictures from this weekend's retreat and or stories that you'd like to share, please feel free to do so.

Brief overview of IDEAL calendar
Hello all,
I am so excited about this upcoming semester. Anthony described a vibe that he picked up on, a communal vibe: I can feel it too. Let's continue to build!
With that said, here are the events for August 2011 that we have penciled in thus far:
August 2011:
August 11th, 18th, and 25th, from 6:00-9:00pm: Dinner at the Sims'
Note: We will take care of the first dinner; after that, however, we will be looking for volunteers. If you decide to cook, simply email or text me a list of the groceries that you need and I will (cheerfully) procure them. I have this time blocked out from 6:00pm-9:00pm; this particular window of time is malleable. For example, if you need to come early to prepare, you are welcomed to do so; and, if scholars want to prepare meals together, feel free to come over before 6:00. Also, the end time is flexible as well.
Lastly, please email me with any food allergies and/or special dietary needs. Thanks.
*All of you should have been (recently) invited to the IDEAL Google calendar doc. If you did not receive an invitation to this claendar, please let me know right away. Thanks.*

Need scholars to help with retreat planning...
Hello all,
I think that the vast majority of us would agree that the annual IDEAL Scholar's retreat is both fun and rewarding. That said, there is still room for improvement. Thus, in the spirit of community, I want to invite you all to join me in planning the activities for this year's retreat. You can contribute one of two ways: (1) if you have an idea to share regarding an activity, simply reply to this thread; (2) if you want to take part in the actual planning process, including but not limited to logistics, etc., then, by all means let me know (either via this blog or via email/phone).
Thanks in advance.
