WOW - all of us got through last week without any scrapes, bruises, or booboos. Well, kind of -- Harley is still staring at the big red sun patch on ANR's face. But you know, he is red and he thinks she's in love with him and trying to look red just like him. I don't have the heart..... Speaking of red, remember last week I told you all I have the red phone. WELL, we had to use it last week to get help in here to assist in putting notebooks together and getting boxes packed to go to the Centennial Celebration which begins next week. Well, my trusty assistant # 2 Harley got the phone out and called for Harriet Mogge. She came right over and helped out. Thank you, Harriet!
More and more boxes were packed while other staff were down in DC for the finale of the National Anthem Project -- also a lot of red. Do we have a theme going on here? Yes, a sea of red everywhere in my world! OK, back to reality. We also had the MENC Finance Committee in the office to review the draft budget -- NO, let's not talk about red - nope, not on the topic of the budget..... President Brinckmeyer, Immediate Past President Circle, Pres-Elect Geer, and North Central Division President Patch were working on the budget from Thursday afternoon to Friday afternoon. The budget that they reviewed and revised will be the one that the National Executive Board will act on this coming weekend. The Board begins meeting over dinner on Saturday, June 23, and will go until noon on Monday, June 25. Me, myself, and Harley will fly down on Saturday morning to Orlando. By Sunday a number of the staff bloggers will be together: ARN, EWL, Harley, and me. Also down there will be MJ, MB, Dr. M, and 200 of our closest friends.
See you next week. Leaving you with one more photo of our bestest friend Harriet helping us out with notebooks and more notebooks and more notebooks.
