We are back!!!

Ok, were back up and running. This will be the place were we can all reply to someone elses blog, or make your own. You will have the chance to win coffee house coupons, but will have to pay special attention and pick up on the clues to see which questions offer a coupon and which ones don't. Also, notice the poll on the side. Vote as many times as you want for the item you wish.

For today lets just comment to this one to tell everyone you got on-line and can comment. If you wish to start your own topic be my guest...Just remember....BE NICE!!!! Don't talk about anyone!!!

How soon we forget

Allright guys, let me just start by defending myself. This year isn't over for the Orange Lightning! We are working through the kinks, making some offensive changes and hoping for the best. Go ahead and vote on the blog but get rid of that mentality of "What have you done for me lately". Larry Coker, coach of the Miami Hurricanes was fired only 3 or 4 years after he won them a National Championship Trophy. Now look at Miami, there horrible. "How soon we forget".

ps. Make sure you all come to QOP this Saturday at noon. PTP Gameday will be there. Pre-game starts at 11:30.

Date Change!!!!

Hey guys, listen the easter drama is scheduled for the night of the 16. That means that our opening night has to be pushed back. The new game/grand opening will be March 30. HOWEVER, I will let you guys in the night of the 16 so that you can look over it and see if you guys want to do anything before the game night. For Example, someone told me they have lights that would be really cool for the night. I will let you in so you can look over it and help me set up for that night. Anyways, hope to see you on the 16 and bring friends on the 30!

Grand Opening PARTY!!!!

Hey, on March 16 we will have our youth room Grand Opening. For this special occasion we will be playing many games and will have the chance to give away many prizes. One lucky person will get the chance to win one great prize. I won't tell you what it is, but trust me on this one, you won't want to miss it! Some plans and games are TBD but I know it will include a ping pong championship and friends. The more friends you bring that I have never seen before and in the grades between 6 and 12 the more chances you have to win the big prize. Its going to be great. Make sure you are there.

Oh yea, XSN will have their first episode on this night also. It will be great, make sure you are there.

Upcoming Events with the Youth Room

Ok, so there will be new website that will be going up this weekend. By this saturday at an unposted time, the new website will go on-line. So here is the deal, the first person that e-mails me or responds to this blog (either one) to tell me that they saw the new site will win a coupon for 3 (that's right, three) free cups of coffee in our new coffee shop. If you don't like coffee we will work something out. Make sure you e-mail me.


Also, I have scheduled a date for the opening of our room. Sunday night, March 16 will be the grand opening of the building and coffee shop. Bring frinds as there will be special deals of the coffee and snacks that night. There will also be games and chances to win some cool prizes. (Not the normal prizes I give away, some really cool ones). Make sure you come and bring some friends!


I am also happy to announce that we are finished with Phase 1. There are three phases and the first one has taken the longest (I Hope). The next phase will consist of putting a stripe down the middle of the wall, fixing the windows, and painting artwork. The last phase will consist of getting furniture, and hanging signs. I am really excited and can't wait until its done. We are coming along a little slow, but it will be worth it!


Have fun!

Hey, Listen up (actually read up)

OK, so we are getting ready to start a bunch of stuff, the problem is that right now there is very little support for anything. If you want to have the great stuff that is planned you need to show up to support it. Now I know most of you are not going to camp, but we have the valentines banquet coming up. I need you all to work whether or not you are going to camp! I need servers, kitchen workers mainly. There are other spots but you got to talk to me. PLEASE make a HUGE effort to be there that night. So if your working, please get the time off! It will be valentines night (Feb 14) from 4:30 through 8:00pm. You can start selling tickets hopefully by this weekend!

Also, if you have discount cards checked out you need to sell them or give them back! Please don't give them back, please try to sell them. We have to sell close to 80 more cards to break even! Get to selling!

The room is coming slowly, I still plan on opening on Feb 10 but will know more as time gets closer. We have started with the white paint (the primer is done) but there is a lot of white, so this will take a while! We are planning on having the primary colors done by this week. OK, so I will talk to ya later.

The Room is CLOSED!!!
