Re: Team Banquets
Parties at the Baker residence. Aahhh, those were the days!
Our team (N.E.W. Apple Corps) has both a team banquet and a team party. Our banquet is nearly identical to 648's in terms of content. One nice touch from our students is that each one writes a letter to a mentor (or two) thanking them for their dedication to the team as a whole and their impact on the individual student. I received several that made me smile and brought me to tears. It's amazing the impact we have on these young heroes-in-the-making! In addition the students gave the mentors each a t-shirt that said "Tobor VII - It was worth the WEIGHT!" Needless to say, the 130# limit nipped us again this year!
Our banquet was last week Thursday and our team party is on July 1st. The party is a nice way to bring everyone back together during the summer for some fun and cameraderie. For both events we invite mentors, students, parents, sponsors, and other "dignitaries" from the school and community. We include both current team members and alumni of the team so our attendance has the potential to get pretty big!
Banquets are an awesome way to recognize the all the individuals who play a vital role on our teams. We need them all or we can't FUNction!
Hope all your banquets are a blast!!
