Muscular Dystrophy Association - Summer Camp

I am writing you because the 2009 MDA Summer Camp is coming up on July 26-31st. I know that you guys participated in our Shamrock program (thank you so much), and we are in need of counselors for our Summer Camp. Summer camp is a lot of fun and a very rewarding experience for those involved. Below is a brief description of MDA Summer Camp and the volunteer positions.

MDA Summer Camp: Campers at MDA Summer camp are young people ages 6-17 who are affected by neuromuscular disease. Campers attend week-long sessions organized by MDA volunteers and staff. Camp activities are geared to the abilities of campers and may include fishing, swimming, baseball and dancing. Less physically demanding activities include arts and crafts, nature study, talent shows, cookouts and entertainment.

Volunteer counselors: (who must be at least 16 years old) receive an orientation and training that includes wheelchair techniques, lifting and transfers, personal hygiene, and emergency procedures. The primary responsibility of each counselor is to provide both physical and psychological support to their camper, thereby helping them to enjoy camp. Medical staff are available throughout the week to meet any healthcare needs that may arise.

Camp Dates: July 26 - July 31

Camp Locations: Rotary's Camp Florida in Brandon

OJT Time Cards Past Due

If you are in OJT, you need to be more responsible with your time cards. These are considered legal documents for our school. If they are not turned in by the date 3/6/09 you are subject to review and removal from OJT.

I have already created a list of students who will be transferred into a regular electives like "Bucks 101" if you are receiving less than a "B" average in this course.

I advise you to see me immediately and check your grade on Pinnacle asap.
