EM-PTSA to you: Events & Info for Feb & March 2012

[TR]

Dear Panther Friends,

Remember >>> 2/9/12, Thursday in the EMHS@JC Library >>> CAC at 5pm, PTSA at 6pm. >>> Always OPEN to the Community.


I hope that you are well and happy! We are approaching Valentines' Day and I am already eating too much chocolate.  :-)  

I am giving in to chocolate because I am feeling a little melancholy. A few of you know that I was in a fender-bender during the drizzling rain on Jan 24th. I am okay, thank you. No injuries to anyone, thank God. But my cute little 2000 Mazda Protege has been "Totaled" by the insurance company. I have had the car for ten years, and truly enjoyed it. But, there could be some very expensive hidden damage. I will be using the settlement toward a new vehicle, asap. Wish me Luck? ;-)


Below are the events and projects that have been passed on to me.  There are some very exciting plans this spring!

If you can, join in the fun.  And if you want to HELP?  !!!Yay!!!  I am including contact info, when I can.


Finally, if you wish to have YOUR event info included. Please forward to me asap. And, it would be wonderful if you could add "event" to the beginning of your subject line.


Peace On Panthers!
