Stacy, would you be willing to organize another state house fieldtrip? We were hoping to have kids sit in on a legislative session and have them page. Then, we could go to the Maine State Museum. I could organize this part, i.e., plan a scavenger hunt through the musuem.

Discussed possibility of planning 1-2 field trips on a Saturday and, if Stacy's kids would come with me, we could give her a break and likewise with Allison.

All Saints' Soccer Stacy is organizing and will email when underway. I will call FM principal to inquire about practicing there.
Mondays from 3-4 was discussed. Little Flowers / Blue Knights Left in middle of Little Flowers and Blue Knights Discussion. Janine is willing to host Little Flowers, but we all need to share in leading the lessons / activities. I'm sure I missed something, so feel free to flesh these notes out before posting. Thank you, all!! Love, Caroline p.s. don't have Gina's email. Would someone send to her?
