Wishes Ensemble 3-29-09

For today's ensemble we focused on updates and areas where we need help from each other. As personal reminders, we opened by going around the circle and telling the group why we were here--why we chose to be a part of the Wishes team.

We then spent a couple hours going over the many updates/changes since our last meeting. We covered artistic, volunteer, financial, and field updates.

One key point that was discussed is that we still need over 100 volunteers for the day of the event. (Volunteers can sign up through our website: http://www.wishesforthesky.org/volunteer or by calling Lori Janey at 952-513-4384.)

As a break from all the seriousness, for the last half-hour we used a kite-winder to play the summer camp-esque game of throwing a ball of string to each other across a circle. Keeping ahold of the string each time it was thrown to us, we would toss it to a specific person that we would either like to ask help from or offer help to. In the end we had a beautiful web of kite string connecting all members of the Ensemble.

Updates on field layout.
