Hi-Ho Springfield,
First off, I would like to thank those of you who came out to the awesome THONvelope meeting on Sunday. It was a great start to our potential THONvelope successes this year, and I really appreciate everyone who has gotten addresses so far!
Keeping that in mind, if you have yet to pull addresses together for the wonderful season of THONveloping, Thanksgiving break is a great time to do so. When you are recovering from your turkey-hangover and lying on the couch because you can't eat for another couple days, you can grab your parents' address books and start copying down addresses for THONvelopes! We all know a certain Springfielder who's name rhymes with Schminay will be most excited to see a huge pile of new THONvelopes when we get back from break! If you have any questions or concerns about THONveloping, please e-mail Vinay (vinayayala@gmail.com).
I also want to thank everyone who came out for or helped out during the Family Carnival on Sunday. It was a lot of fun to be with Kenzie and the Negleys this weekend, and we are appreciative to everyone that came out to see our families!
Also, please keep in mind that we will be having a meeting on Sunday, Nov. 29 (The Sunday that everyone comes back from Thanksgiving break), and there will be another opportunity to fill out addresses on THONvelopes following the meeting!
Also, it still isn't too late to sign up for Canning Weekend #2 (Dec. 4-6)! We are still looking for more canners to take it to the streets, and also would love if anyone would be able to drive that hasn't already indicated being able to do so. Please e-mail Brittney (kern.brittney@gmail.com) for canning signups.
And, we would like to extend the opportunity to the team (especially those with a knack for art/designing) to come up with some design ideas for future Springfield merchandise. We are trying to come up with some new ideas for upcoming merch, and we would like some participation from you all to come up with the best possible ideas! If you are interested, please submit your design idea to Gabbie (gabrielle.gort@gmail.com) by Monday, Nov. 23.
Other than that, I would like to extend my hope that you all have a fantastic break, and I am looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday night (Nov. 29) at the meeting when we get back. Enjoy the week off guys, and have a great time at home with your families! As always, feel free to e-mail me with any questions/concerns.
Best,
-Jeff (Captain Jeff, King of Sparta, el presidente)
