July 2010 - Session 1

Okay... where did these amazing kids come from?  They showed up for the very first meeting of the 8 to 11 year kids LUNCH Group and they were... polite to each others, used great manners in Gelsons when we went for a snack, tried new foods, and created the healthy snack you see at the right.

We had only three kids today, two were missing, but it was a nice introduction.  They selected nicknames, which we use to whenever a project goes up on the Internet.

Also, they had a chance to meet Sophie, rewarded her for doing tricks, had a chance to try out avatars, look at animation, and create a (very) short cartoon/picture (sun below). Finally, the kids learned about the LUNCH Points Program, which is how they earn certificates in between meetings which are good for raffle tickets and a chance to play on the Wii, and special prizes.

In all, it was a highly successful first meeting.  We've been receiving calls from other interested families and hope to have the group up to ten participants by September.  It is likely that some of the kids who are currently in our summer program will transition to this one.

Look forward to seeing your kids in August.  Remember, we meet the first and third Tuesday of the month, from 3:45pm - 6:pm.
