From Charles Cox:

I know this is early, however, the Savannah Civic Center actually reached out to us because they’ve narrowed the window for “group” ice skating this year and they wanted to offer us a slot.
So we’ve been plugged in for:
DEC 20, 2013 from 12:30 to 2:00
COST:  $5.00 per skater, observers are free but I still need a tally of everyone in your group.
DEADLINE:  December 11 for payment.
WHO:  CBCCA, family, friends, and fellow homeschoolers
Please send email to:  coxfamsc@gmail.com and indicate how many skaters and non-skaters that you have. Checks can be mailed to:  110 shell point rec. park, beaufort, SC 29906. Please call 843-476-6868 if you have any more questions.

NOTE:  They still have their regular schedule for “public” ice skating;  only the group sessions were reduced this year.

From Charles Cox:

#1 – Please pray for:  safe travels and for opportunities to share Christ with someone on this trip.
#2 – Meet at noon on Friday, OCT 4, at the ticket counter.  We have almost 100 students and 60 adults going on this trip!!  There will be a short briefing by the staff and then we will be on our own.  Please let me know if you are running late, thank you,
843-476-6868.
SEE YOU THERE!!

From Charlies Cox:

•   I’m purchasing our tickets on SEP 27 and turning in the roster, please let me know if you want to attend byFriday morning.  So far I have 70 students and 40 adults! 
•   Please let me know if you are not an active member of CBCCA, as I will need to collect cash for your tickets please
•   If you miss the deadline, you can still go on the trip, they won’t guarantee the discounted price however.
•   Please be on time, and in line, by noon, Friday, OCT 4, parking is across the street at the parking garage, however, you can drop off at the front and then go park.  There is also metered parking on the street if you think you can get lucky!
•   Don’t forget to download your grade specific scavenger hunt from the SC Aquarium website, under Homeschooling/Education.
•  Clarification on the extra exhibits (Sea Turtles and 4D theatre):  I was under the impression that we could individually add these items on, but unfortunately, we need 100% participation for the discounted rate, so if you wanted to do these exhibits, you would have to call and make your own reservations and pay the full price, sorry
•  The contract that I signed for our group indicates that we must adhere to certain rules.  Although it was mostly common sense, I wanted to emphasize a few things:  #1-This is going to be a large group and we are there representing CBCCA and other homeschoolers #2 – They don’t want any children harassing any of the animals, such as, tapping on the windows of the exhibits, etc. #3 – Please don’t allow the little kids to run around and be noisy #4 – Kids must stay with the Chaperones at all times, thank you
• Once we are inside, it’s not necessary for us to stay together as a big group.  Feel free to go at your own pace, and enjoy the Aquarium, they close at 5 pm
• Please call or text me for any last minute questions or additions 843-476-6868, coxfamsc@gmail.com
