Dear Common Ground, Sponsors and Parents,

I didn’t get a chance to collect any photos from the last seveal days of tour, so for everyone who has photos, please bring them on Wednesday or Sunday so I can put them on the DVD and web site.

“To those parents/guardians who have already contributed their $10 per student towards the Common Ground sponsor’s gifts, THANK YOU. 

To those of you who still need to contribute, it’s not too late!!  You can find Rob & Trish Cunningham or Marianne & Dave Nadell at the concert Sunday night.  Please give any of them your $10 per student contribution so we can appropriately say thank you to all the wonderful sponsors who have given their heart and soul (and time) to our kids during this Common Ground season.  We need everyone’scontribution, this will only be successful if everyone contributes.

Hi Friends of Common Ground,

Just 6 days until we hit the road.  Here’s a pdf of our Tour Itinerary.  We really hope you join us somewhere along the way. Make sure to bring a friend or 3 too.

See Ya Soon,

Hi Friends,

I’ve attached a tour checklist for you.  Note that we’re meeting at Bethel at 9am this coming Saturday.
Peace, Tom

Ok everyone, this is it. We are getting down to the wire. Time to put our noses to the grindstone. Time to put up or shut up. I’m out of cliched phrases to express that we need to work, but you get the idea. We are starting a weekend of pure workitude, on Friday at 7:15 p.m. We will be done on Saturday at 4:00, also p.m. Bring $25 and money for safeway, in addition to your sleeping bags and hard working attitudes. You won’t be needing your cell phone much, so don’t bring it if you can avoid it. This weekend has really got to be productive. Tour is on it’s way, so we need to get it right, get it right, get it tight. I can’t wait to slappa da bass with you all. See you then.

Robert
