joy

Special thanks to Margie for bringing in such a LOVELY birthday treat! I'm just getting around to looking at the photos I have from that evening...mostly headshots for the programs this May. Anyway, here's some JOY for all of you! :)

Some concert details...

f... for all of you that are wondering what the story isOur "One Night Only" concert is the last performance of the 2006-2007 Senior Performance Ensemble. Since dessert is served and it's a relatively formal & intimate concert setting, seating is limited to 60, and tickets are $15. All of you and your families will have the first opportunity to buy tickets! At the end of this week, invitations will go out to the families that participated in MadCAP this year as well as our Board members. One of our Board members will be helping with the planning and set up. It is important for us to sell out this show, because it's a fundraiser for us. Summer enrollments are coming in later than expected, and an income stream is necessary for us to continue the wonderful programming that you all enjoy (I hope--I enjoy it!) Adam handles all of the ticket sales, so if you'd like to order tickets, please e-mail adam at madcap.org to make arrangements. This Thursday you'll get invitations and order forms to send out to people if you'd like. And in other big news, starting Tuesday you can officially pick on me for being old, because I will be...

The scrapbook is finished!

Here are the pages for our Disney Scrapbook that lives at MadCAP. I tried to get good pictures of the pages, but if there's one you REALLY want and you'd like me to do a high res scan and send it to you, e-mail me.

Enjoy! :)

boy, do I love my glue sticks and scissors.

Thanks for such fun at Scrap Mania the other night! I think it would be a blast to do another one! :)

You guys crack me up. You look so cranky. What's the story there?

...working on the MadChatter...

...and I thought you might just enjoy seeing the last page of the latest edition. It's sort of a "year in review" and "looking ahead" kind of thing. Click on the image to see a bigger one, and look for the latest edition in your mailboxes after Spring Break!

I finally finished my travel journal!

(you don't get to read the top secret "journalling" part, but I'll share pictures! :) )

Thanks for great a great performance on Friday!

Hi all!

Thanks for a great performance last Friday! the photos can be found here: http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?&collid=11802879805.933395068405.1174662194667&page=1 for all of those who are interested.

Unfortunately, my pictures did not come out great...(Joan took the digi photos, and I'm waiting to see what Adam did with the 35mm)...so if you've got wonderful photos of this performance, please upload them to the album at kodakgallery (link is above).

I've put the link to the Google Group that Reed set up for us (thanks!) in the link list on the right, so you can check that out. We also have the complete MadCAP calendar that is updated regularly listed on the right (under {discover}). If you have questions about things, please check that calendar, because ALL performances are listed there.

Thank you, again, for all of your input last night at the meeting/rehearsal. I know those things can be exhausting, but as I mentioned I really DO value your opinions and what you have to offer. For example, I had no idea Thursday performances were so hard on all of you (homework, etc) or that you were interested in offering school shows! These are all things I can work on when finalizing next year's calendar!

Speaking of, next year's calendar should be available by the end of June (I pushed the deadline up for those of you who are hoping to know things earlier) and I will get it to you ASAP.

Get your pre-registrations in for next year, because we are limiting the number of spaces available to 22 (there are 19 of you this year) and I want to be sure you all get your lessons when you want them and have spaces in the group. Also, there are some fun summer things planned for people who have registered this spring! :)

...a project

...So I'm working on the beginning of a scrapbook about our Disney trip, and I need your help. I am bringing in some pages that are mostly blank, and I'm hoping you'll all take a moment before or after your lesson/rehearsal to write a note about a favorite thing you did/memory of the trip/silly thing that happened or was said. The scrapbook will end up living at MadCAP for all to enjoy, but I'll post high resolution images of each page on the blog so you can print them out for your own copy of the book! Here's a start...

More new photos!

My 35mm photos are ready, and order ready if anyone would like copies. Here are the links:

...and yes, they are on Snapfish, and they are five albums. I'm sorry...it's unfortunately the only online server I've found that will develop 35mm film! And as you know, I am old. I use old technology. Maybe some day I'll catch up. :)

You should all be able to upload your digital photos to our online Snapfish album...I will make a KodakGallery album under our MadCAP account as well (popular demand).

Also, I wanted to say thanks again for TINKERBELL! I love it! This morning I read all of the notes inside and decided it was one of my greatest treasures EVER. Thank you all; you are amazing.
