I didn't update for last Friday... I think we had a large group and are hardcore on Halloween Party Planning now! Gifts! Gifts! Gifts! Party is October 26th, we have another week and a few extra days to get everything in order! Gift Bags and Gifts are the major point now, everything else is settled. Get those emails out, and phone calls, and beg, and plead for donations! Whatever works! haha!

TYWLS SMART Youth were not able to attend this Friday, since we went on a college trip at Connecticut College. It was a nice trip though. From what I have heard, only 5 youth came, but it's okay, the weather was yuck, and TYWLS girls make up half of the group. Next week we have to get cracking on party planning, and are going to see Mama Mia, make sure to RSVP.
