Fun Fair rescheduled to October 7

As we do every year, we have been anxiously watching the weather forecasts for Friday’s Fun Fair.  Unfortunately this year we are seeing predictions of heavy thunderstorms, strong winds and rain - a lot of it.  Although we could potentially put much of the Fun Fair gear inside, there are a couple of large inflatables that can't fit in our senior gym and other components that must remain outdoors, such as the BBQ.  Based on the forecast for Friday, it looks like it would be not only unpleasant, but potentially dangerous, for people to be running in and out of the school in such weather.

As such, we are making the very difficult choice to reschedule. Based on the long range weather forecast, it appears that Tuesday Oct 7th has a decent chance of being a good day for the Fair.  So the new date is Tuesday, October 7th from 3:30 - 7:00. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

EARLYBIRD WRISTBAND ORDERS 
If you have sent in an order with your child, but are unable to attend on the new date, please email ingridmcgaughey@bell.net to cancel your order, before *Thursday October 2*.  
If you didn't send in an order and would now like to do so, we will extend the early-bird pricing until *end of day Thursday Oct 2nd*.  A new wristband order will go home with your child today.

CAKES
We still need cakes! Please email Mary Dart (mdart@sympatico.ca) if you are able to provide a cake for the always popular Cake Walk.  Don’t miss this opportunity to impress everyone with your cake-baking prowess.  Prizes will be awarded for most creative cakes!

VOLUNTEERS 
We will be creating a new volunteer schedule and, as always, greatly value and appreciate the contributions of our volunteers.  If you have already agreed to volunteer, we will be contacting you separately to confirm your availability on Tuesday.   If you are now able to volunteer, please email Kelly Bruneau at bruneaufamily@rogers.com with your availability.  (Choose from one or more of the following times:  2:00-3:30pm         3:30-4:30pm        4:30-5:30pm        5:30-6:30pm       6:30pm-7:30pm).   We need adults (especially you Dads!!), high school kids, and grade 7 & 8 volunteers to make the Fun Fair a success.

Again, our apologies for the change.  It was a very difficult choice, but hopefully one which will benefit everyone.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email Ingrid McGaughey (ingridmcgaughey@bell.net) or Paul Nusca (paul@paulnusca.com).

All the best,

2014 Fun Fair Committee
