Spelling Bee!
 
Come to this Thursday's meeting and participate in the Anxiety-Free Kick-Start Spelling Bee! It will feature:
  • Teams, so all glory or shame is shared!
  • Spelling bee-related anecdotes!
  • Words, definitions, and example sentences!
  • Participation awards!
  • A grand prize!
  • More fun than any spelling bee should ever be!
So in other words, not like this!

Weekly Inspiration
 
"If you are unhappy with anything, whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're fee, your creativity, your true self comes out."
 
"At every moment, we always have a choice, even if it feels as if we don't. Sometimes that choice may simply be to think a more thought."
 
"You must love and care for yourself, because that's when the best comes out."
 
- Tina Turner

EKSR will resume quarterly volunteer evenings at THE OPEN DOOR - first Thursday of November, February, May, and August. The shift is 4:15pm to 7:00pm

This aligns better with our volunteer capacity and avoids holidays where volunteers are often scarce.
