*Do not immediately start taking down decorations because we dont want to make the parents feel uncomfortable. As soon as youve finished any conversations youre having with the kids or the parents, start taking decorations down. If we have everything done along the way in the beginning steps, I dont anticipate this taking anymore than 15 minutes. Whoever is doing MUS 21 for that 2:00pm recital can take off as soon as she needs to.

MAKE SURE you are wearing SAI shirts and comfortable pants/shoes. If you have any questions, please call me/txt me (308-325-9371).

To get to the church you take University west just past Kum & Go to the street where you would turn to go to Ross Dorms/Taco Bell/Street before Greek Street. Its the Trinity Lutheran Church on the North side of the street - or right side - (Big gray stone place). Theres a turn in on University that leads to a back lot, you can also turn on that street as mentioned above and there is another turn in on the left side of the street.

Please promptly be there at 8am so that we can get things set up and done. If you need a ride, please contact someone to get one/call me and I can come pick you up - I can only take two because I have a lotta crap in my car.

Thanks ladies and lets have some FUN tomorrow!
