I normally like to have the meetings take place in Orem.
But since we’ve had a low head count this month it’s going to be at Peter and Anita’s home.
Their address is: 92 east 640 North, Lindon 84042
Meeting normal time 7 pm.
Topics at the meeting:
In a previous email it was stated that one of the goals of the Orem Tea party is to educate youth and adults.
In support of that goal, I encourage all members to be involved in the Patriot camp that takes place at the end of this month. The Orem Tea party (namely melva gifford) has accepted responsibility for to teach two classes to kinder garden aged children in support to Orem TP goals..
The camp is going to happen for two hours a day for one week at the end of this month.
Orem Tea party is going to teach
1. the Boston Tea party. (I thought it would be appropriate and we (ME)
and 2. check and balances.
The meeting this Tuesday will be about finalizing content for these two 15 min length classes. I invite members to send info you have such as web links on the topics etc. that would provide good info on the following above topics. I am also eager to get feedback on interesting ways to present this info so even if you don’t plan to attend the camp personally I would like ideas on how to teach the two subjects. if you can’t make it to the meeting, feel free to give ideas via email. I have some info already but am seeking more and thus this discussion can be made on line.
