Post-Trek Party

Kia Ora and Bula Vinaka!
I wanted to drop everyone a quick note to let you know what you can expect post-trip.

The post-trek party will be Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 4pm, St. Paul Lutheran Church, 111 W. Las Palmas Drive (@ Harbor bl) in Fullerton. RSVPs are required.

First, I will be putting together a DVD with all the photos I have to give to all participants. Due to the amount of time necessary to copy the dvds, anyone who wants to contribute their photos to be included (I'll put in as many as fit), I'll need them by January 11. So if you can put them on a cd, dvd or usb device and get them to me, I'll make sure they are included to share with all. Included will be the photos that were bought from the venues for zorb and blackwater rafting. I am particularly interested in photos from those who had waterproof cameras to use on some of our more wet activities. I took several movies, such as the kids playing in the waterfall on Dec. 30, one of the Fiji dances, and the zorb coming down the hill, all of which will be included. If anyone would care to send me a movie of me doing the Haka, I would appreciate it.

The Dvds will *not* be mailed to the local participants. They will be available to be picked up at the January 25 party. If no one from your family is able to attend, we'll need to make separate arrangements for shipping and covering the costs.

I encourage everyone to bring their "stuff" to the party January 25. I think it would be really nice to share with everyone and all the families the things that people were able to pick up, such as Max Krochman's Maori sword or Dick Cuciti's painting.

We will be providing food at the party, so we need a fairly good count of how many will be there. Families are invited to attend, but we ask you to limit the numbers to no more than four persons with each participant, the facility is only so big :-). Please send RSVPs to me by January 17.

I will also put together a powerpoint presentation of the outing that will be presented at the party and included on the DVD. I welcome any contributions along those lines as well.

Again, please RSVP your attendance at the party. It is a great chance to see all your new friends one last time.

Cheers!
