Katie has provided informational flyers to teachers in the Shelley schools to try to encourage students. Current students are encouraged to invite friends. In previous years we put flyers at the different Idaho Falls schools and had an informational meeting. The group was required to get approval from the district offices before hanging flyers. The group decided to have an informational meeting on October 15th. Melinda will get the flyers from 2016 to Kendra and Dave. Kendra will ask the D91 office for permission to hang flyers at D91 schools. We have enough current students at different D91 and D93 schools where we should be able to get the flyers out. If students are interested in scheduling a talk at their school the DVD from the summer visit could be shown. Dinner for Adult Japanese Delegation: The group will be hosting a dinner for the adult Japanese delegation on October 10th. The dinner will start at 6 p.m. Dave found a duo to play music for the dinner. ( Scott Glen Lambertsen) The dinner will be held at the N Skyline Activity Center (1575 N Skyline).

(For example, two players have decided that the red die is the across die and the white die is the down die. If a player rolls a 5 on red and a 2 on white they need to locate the square that is 5 across and 2 down-( 四)  If the player can say the number correctly in English, they may color the square their color.  If a player rolls a square that has already been colored in, they miss that turn  The player at the end of the game with the greatest number of squares shaded, is the winner A list of examples is included at the top of the page for support, but these can be removed if support is not needed. Boxes can be filled with vocab or characters to suit any unit A motion to adjourn was made by Gabe and seconded by Anna.
