We talked for a long time during our walk about the two chapters I'm working on which are complementing each other. It caused me to further rethink and revise the finance chapter. It's ok, because it's getting stronger.
Kelly said yesterday that she has forty kids interested. Even if half actually sign up, that will be great. She is so energetic and innovative! What an excellent addition to our leadership team. She is going to do fundraising to help the kids who need assistance. Also, she has emailed the staff to see if they have equipment to donate or lend. Plus, she's calling all the parents to keep them informed.
Next week we're speaking to Fredonia 8th graders and then Brocton and SC the following week. We expect to increase enrollment in both schools. We could have twenty to thirty more than usual. Fredonia's 8th grade is 113 kids. If we enroll 50%, which is typical, that's 56. So, the expedition could be 80 kids or more! Add to that twenty student leaders and twenty adults.
We'll need more cooking equipment, stoves, utensils. Maybe a fifth hike group. And a new hike group leader or two. I can't do both jobs any more. Lots of changes on the horizon.
I have to finish the book!
Correction on the election. The margin was about two hundred votes. Still an impressive tally.
