DATE CORRECTION on BAND REUNION

Mrs. Manetta sent me an email saying that I got the date wrong. The
date for the Centennial Band thing is March 28 not March 29.

Thanks

Get Your Band On!

Start getting those chops back in shape!!!!!!!!!!! It has been approved for us to have an Alumni Band at the SHS Centennial Celebration on March 29, 2009. As many of you may be aware, our alma mater is turning 100!!!! On March 29, 2009, there will be a huge celebration of this occasion. They will have many activities scheduled throughout the day. Since there were talks on here about a "Band Reunion" I asked the Centennial Committee if it was possible for us to try and get something together for an Alumni Band. I have not worked out ANY details as of yet but I just got an email from Mrs. Manetta saying that Mr. Percy (the principal now) approved my request. This will be a HUGE undertaking and we will need LOTS of people involved. Please contact any fellow band members from when you were in school and let them know about this!!

I will keep you posted as more becomes available. I am planning to post copies of music somewhere once, it is decided upon. I will work closely with the current band director (Val Esotquie - not sure about the spelling of her last name) and ask Mr. J to get involved.

This is an exciting opportunity so please get involved!! For more information go to the Slidell High web site - http://slidellhigh.stpsb.org. (CLICK ON THE TITLE-GET YOUR BAND ON-TO GO DIRECTLY TO LINK FOR MORE INFOR)

Toto, We're Not In Kansas Anymore

Take a look at what some of us woke up to July 4th weekend in Slidell! Leslie Green Indorf got some great photos of what some of us later figured out was not tornado but a waterspout(s)!


Check this out - over Lake Pontchartrain - All in about 5 minutes. The train had to stop and it was actually backing up.

Cry Baby!

Dear All,
Brennan Andrew Cry was born on Saturday March 29, 2008 at 3:07 P.M. CST. He weighed in at 7 pounds 13 ounces. Mother and son are doing quite well. As you can see from the pictures, he is a beautiful little boy.


As my good friend John Besh put it so aptly earlier this evening, “I am so glad this beautiful baby boy looks like his mother.”


Thanks to each and every one of you for the numerous prayers and best wishes that did, I feel, allow for the safe arrival of our little one. More news will surely follow! This gets better every day!


All My Best,

David A. Cry
Chief Executive Officer
The Adrenoleukodystrophy Foundation

Hi-

I'm sad I just found this page now as it means I missed the reunion. Ah well, maybe in 5 years I'll be back for the next one.

I wanted to say thank you so much for your help with the last trip. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!! WOW! I am so excited about all that WE can do for these kids and their families!!!

We are believing for monthly supporters so that we don't have to keep asking for money, but until then we are only letting the needs be known! Please never feel pressured in any way. We received the funds that we needed last time thanks to a couple of my old high school buddies. Monica, Heidi, as well as Andy and other friends were huge blessings - and the list goes on. All of you guys are great! In the photos you can see that we are feeding over 100 men, women and children.
(See love in action photos go to http://crucialmissions.com/ You can see that the pots are not that big! It was like a miracle - one pot feeds almost 100 people total - in fact, we think that it was about 120 because that is how many plates we had and we ran out. We had two pots of rice and beans and one pot of beef. This was more then enough, just as when Jesus fed the 5000. Smile. It was great, and I will write more about this last trip in future emails.
Thanks for your prayers and support!
