This Week

Thank you to everyone who came to last week’s Wii Olympics and Third Thursday Game Night. They were great successes!

If you signed up for the boating education class, don’t forget the first class is this Tuesday from 1-4 p.m. If you wish, there are still plenty of openings available.

The movie this week is Spiderman 2. Next week: Spiderman 3!

Summer Reading Club Reading Rules Rundown


Alright guys, it's time for Summer Reading Club again, and that means it's time to run down the rules:

Once you've logged in your ultimate goal in hours for the summer, you can calculate your weekly goal. Each week fulfilling your goal gets you a weekly prize (The First "tier" is Chick-Fil-A coupons for an 8-pack of nuggets).


Just follow this cheat sheet:

Hours Read each week

Total for 9 weeks

1

9

2

18

3

27

4

36


And so on. You can calculate it by day as well:

Reading Time Per Day

Week Total (if you read 6 days)

Total for 9 Weeks

15 min (Laaaay-zeee!)

1.5 hours

13.5 hours

30 min

3 hours

27 hours

1 hour

6 hours

54 hours

1.5 hours

9 hours

81 hours

2 hours

12 hours

108

3 hours

15 hours

135


If you read ten hours, you can fill out a ticket that puts you in the drawing for one of our grand prizes, like an Ipod shuffle.
Fulfill all your hours, visit some of the cool programs this summer, and celebrate your acomplishment with our end of SRC party on August 7th.

Remember, this week's movie is Spiderman (PG), the first of the whole trilogy. Also, the YAAC meeting is this Saturday at 11:00 a.m. Eat some pizza and share your ideas!
