Hello everyone!  I am going to start out by being honest... for some reason it has been very tricky to remember to keep up this blog!  Not sure why...  Soooo since it's hard to keep it up I imagine it is hard to keep up with it as well... I apologize! I am going to consider putting it on hiatus for the summer but part of me is hesitant to do that because... let's face it... Blacktop usually comes with lots of great stories!   I really do love using it as a way to contact you all, tell stories, and give reminders so we will see...

For now there are 3 quick things I wanted to post while I was thinking about them...

1) HUUUUUGE thank you to everyone that helped with the AWANA Carnival last night!  I think it was a huge success!  Definitely think we should make that a regular thing.  It was great!

2) Reminder! There is another cross-all-whatever generational event coming up TWO weeks from this Sunday!  It's gonna be GREAT so don't miss it!  Here is the announcement as seen in the bulletin: "Sunday April 29th at 5:30pm!  Mark your calendars for our next cross-inter-all generational event! Come hungry because we are having a potluck!  We are asking each family to bring TWO dishes.  First dish is an item of your choice.  Second dish: if you last name begins with A-E please bring a salad (fruit or veggie), a side dish for F-L, main dish for M-S, and adessert for T-Z. It is going to be a fun night with our MC Rusty Sietsema!  There will be table activities, great food, and you won't want to miss the staff trivia!  We will also give these awesome events a name!  (Please submit any suggestions to Allison Nees.)"  


 3) Sunday May 20th is going to be the Celebration of Learning!  Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information to come about the awesome musical the kids will be putting on!

THANK YOU!
