Friendly Reminder
First of all, Happy soon-to-be New Year! I hope a happy and healthy 2008 for everybody. Have fun, but be careful celebrating; if you plan on doing anything illegal, you should be thoroughly ashamed of your self >:(
If you are going to the Canton Central Catholic tournament, remember that the Bus times are 2:45 on Friday (debate) and 6:30 on Saturday (all events). Debaters, CCC is a casual-dress tournament, so if you would like to wear something more comfortable than a suit, remeber that you still must look presentable (no saggy/torn/holey/generally gross jeans, wear a nicer, but not necessarily dress, shirt and just look clean and neat). IErs, you guys are still donning suits. You’ll live, I promise.
If you haven’t practiced with your squad as of now, try and either work in a meeting as soon as possible or do as much as you can on your own.
If I will not see you Saturday, I’ll see you all on Jan. 7th!

Laser Quest!!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Our fun team activity will be at Laser Quest on Friday, December 28th at 7 pm (it’s the one in Montrose). If you are interested in attending, please bring enough money to play ($7. 50 per game) and for food (whether we will eat out is in question, but it doesn’t hurt to have some extra cash). However, you will be responsible for arranging your own rides. We will try to have at least everyone play at least one game.
Address:
80 Brookmont Drive
Montrose, OH 44333
See ya!

CVCA/Stow Tournament Results, & a Holiday Reminder
Once again, a fine performance from our team this past weekend at both CVCA and Stow. First, thanks to everyone who helped with setup and cleanup of the Stow tournament- including all our parent volunteers! Thanks also to Boosters for running concessions.
And now your results, ladies and gents…
STOW
Matt McBurney/Rebecca Messinger: 5th Place, Public Forum
Max Williger/Matt Molinaro: Quarters, Policy
CVCA
Sabrina Noble: 2nd Place, Oratorical Interpretation
Keith Foster: 2nd Place, Dramatic Intepretation
Matt Sindelar/Kelly Hawes: 3rd Place, Duo Interpretation
Kim Hall: 3rd Place, Prose/Poetry
Team Sweepstakes: 3rd (tie with Wooster)
I wanted to note about CVCA — scores were ALL OVER the place in all events for all competitors. There were a lot of upsets all around, so don’t be disheartened if you didn’t do as well as you expected.
Winter break is upon us, and I think it’s the right time for a hiatus- we’ve been going strong the last 2 months and it will be nice to relax a little bit. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be practicing (or researching/writing cases in the case of debate). I am more than happy to meet with squads and/or individuals over break. My cell phone is 330-842-0259. If you would like to set up a time to work simply call me and we will figure something out. I know right now there is a tentative “all team” practice set for around January 2nd, but Karuna, Carleigh, or one of your other officers will post with more information soon I am sure.
Again, great job, keep working, and Happy Holidays!!!!!!
