Senior Current Issues is off to Chicago – Saturday February 1 – to celebrate Groundhog’s Day. Stay tuned for details… Get the day off from Work. We need Drivers.
YOU ARE INVITED – to Chicago Saturday February 1
Hey guys…we are going to celebrate Chicago’s second greatest holiday – GROUND HOGS DAY. We meet in Grand Haven (8:00 AM.) We carpool down to Michigan City, Indiana. And then we take the Southshore line train into the Windy City ($8.50 one way). It drops us smak dab in the middle of town – directly under Millennium Park. We head up the stairs and scatter. Go where you want. Have a great time. Meet back at the train – the return time will depend on weather and plans. We will confirm return time prior to going – so parents will know times before we leave.

Contact Mr. Wood at bobwoodmsu@gmail.com or (616) 402-8668 if you want to make your own flyer.
An effective way to get the word out to friends and family, teachers, and financial contributors is by creating your own promotional
flyer. You make your side of the flyer; Mr. Wood will do the other side. We back-to-back them, in color and send you out into the world to spread the word. Mr. Wood’s side of the flyer (to the right) deals with Close Up the organization, and a history of Oakridge Close Up travels or the Selma, Alabama trip and what that entails. Your side deals with you.
Why do the flyers? – Adults want young people involved in their government, in their world. I think they are willing to support you financially, but they want to know that you aren’t just looking for a handout. By creating a flyer, you are proving your worth. You are putting forth the effort. And that resonates with people. So don’t just hand it to them…know it. Talk it. Feel it. And convince those who you meet you are a worthy investment, and that supporting you financially is a down payment on the future of this nation.

I’m so sorry...Me and Mr. Lohman waited and waited and waited for this weather system to move on. It’s not going to happen. There is a Winter Weather Advisory in effect on the drive to Michigan City until noon on Sunday. That’s the middle of our drive to Michigan City…with the new rules and all, we have to be really careful that we follow the weather report if ever want to go again.
Mr. Lohman suggested that we go on Saturday after finals (Saturday January 25)…sounds good to me. Let’s pencil it in. Maybe more folks will be able to go. Maybe we won’t have to mess with all this ice. Please e-mail me if you got this message (bobwoodmsu@gmail.com). And spread the word – we’ll go I promise – just not tomorrow.
So, have a great holiday all. See you next year. Salamou Alaykoum.
