SCRIP

Hello, folks! AIDS Walk went great, thanks for coming! Tons o' fun! For all of you out there who want to help support the troupe by buying Scrip, you gotta fill out the form and give it to Bussey on Monday. He'll need those before he leaves from school, so make sure you get those in. And please, remember to participate! Scrip is the easiest way to support the troupe, and it really does help us out. Thank you!

Serious Circle Stuff

Todd has canceled circle. I will not sugar coat it, and you know why. He has had qualms with it for a while, and has now gone through with it's termination. It is a terrible grievance. It was just as important to me as it was to you, and believe me, I am deeply bothered. I do not know what will be done, if we can do anything. Please do not get angry. This will not solve anything. If you have ideas on how to solve this issue, please consult one of the officers, and we will do the best we possibly can to fix it. It might mean we have to go elsewhere to share our thoughts and feelings, but I do not know how the cookie will crumble.

Leadership Summit

Some of you may know this already, but every year the Oregon Thespians do a Leadership Summit to foster leadership among the Thespian society. It is a weekend of discussion on how to solve issues we encounter as Thespians. Each school can send two representatives to the Summit. If you have any interest in attending this, please talk to Todd about being a representative. It is on the 29th and 30th of September and registration is due by the end of this week, so don't dilly dally. I can make no guarantees on who will be going, but if you have any interest at all, I highly encourage you to ask about it. The Oregon Thespians encourage at least one non-senior to attend, so do not feel that just because you are not a senior, you will not be able to go. Spread the word, in case anybody you know may be interested.

Reminder

Hi guys and gals and dolls and gents! Just here to remind you of things coming up. Numero 1) Don't forget to sell that patronage! And I posted this early in the summer, you might have forgotten, but to the person who sells the most patronage, I will bake them a batch of cookies. Yum! Next item: AIDS Walk. Register, please. Thank you to those who have. If you cannot be there on Sunday at 9 AM, you must, MUST contact Nick Bussey (His e-mail is gnebble@gmail.com and his phone number is 503-726-8943). Please also start fundraising, as it would be excellent to raise more money than we did last year. If you plan on taking the bus down to pioneer courthouse square, we will be meeting at Tigard Transit center at 7:30. Club Rush is this Wednesday. It's after school. 2:30 to 2:50. You be there, or else you be square, can you dig? Finally, I would encourage all of you to think about doing something for the Northwest Regional Acting Competition on February 2nd. We should really try to send as many people as we can, to show some THS Thespian involvement. Thanks guys, and don't forget to Vote!

AIDS Walk update

Hiya! Don't forget to register for AIDS Walk. Click Here http://www.aidswalkportland.org/ to be redirected to the AIDS Walk website where you can register under team name Tigard Thespians Troupe #2833. Remember, you are required to be there September 23 at 9AM, but if you have a legitimate reason you cannot attend, you must let Nick Bussey know. He has all those records, so let him know. Not me. Not Todd. Bussey. If you would like to take Tri-met down there, I will be at the Tigard Transit Center at 7:30 patiently awaiting the arrival of other Thespians as well as the bus. The bus leaves the Transit Center at 7:50, and could even leave earlier, so get there early. Start fundraising now, so we raise more money this year! Thank you all!

Meeting on 9/10/12

In case you missed it, we had a meeting today. If you did miss it, you will have to check in with me and Bussey tomorrow morning, in order to make it up. We'll be in the commons at a table toward the gym. If you can't make it tomorrow, you'll have to talk to Bussey. But here's the lowdown on what we talked about. This is a reference for you to look back to. It does not count as making up the meeting. In order to make up for the meeting you missed, come see me and Bussey tomorrow morning.

• Auditions for As You Like It are on the 17th and 19th of September, so prepare your monologues!
• AIDS Walk is on Sunday September 23rd at 9 AM at Pioneer Courthouse Square. If you can't be there, talk to Bussey. Register at http://www.aidswalkportland.org/. The team name is Tigard Thespian Troupe #2833. There will be a group meeting at the Tigard Transit Center that morning using Tri-Met for transportation. Details on that to come later.
• Out of Darkness is on October 6th at 10 AM. Register at  http://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.home. The team name is THS Thespian Troupe #2833. If you have questions on that, please contact Mica. If you cannot be there, talk to Bussey.
• Homecoming is on October 5th. The Thespians will be having a float participate in the parade, so be ready for that. Think about possible float ideas. The theme is either going to be Hawaii, or the Olympics. We don't know which one it'll be, yet. So ideas for both are always good.
• The Shakespeare trip to Ashland is on October 5, 6 and 7. If you are going, let Bussey know. We like this information. It helps us with planning.
• We will be using a strike system to help with our problems we've had in the past of people flaking. If you would like details on that, contact any of the officers, and we'll be happy to explain it to you.
• Be thinking of ideas for the Craft Fair that will be in early December. Think of crafts that you would like to make and sell to fund raise for the Troupe
• Club Rush is on September 19th from 2:30 to 2:50. The Thespians will have a booth there. You are expected to be there. Again, if you cannot be there, contact Bussey.
• TO EVERYONE: Talk to Bussey about SCRIP. It is very good for you, me and all the Thespians.
• TO EVERYONE: Sell your PATRONAGE! Due October 1st.

That is all. It's a lot, but it's all important. Again, if you missed the meeting, you must see me and Bussey Tuesday morning in the commons at a table near the gym to make it up. If you don't, you are one step closer to getting a Strike. If you miss two, you get one strike. Three strikes and your out.
