FALCON NOTES

Florida is almost here!  I can't believe that we depart in 20 days.  The past 5 months have flown by!
Our annual Spring Trip meeting, where we introduce the chaperones and pass out itineraries, will be Thursday April 5th at La Crescenta Elementary School at 7:00pm.  Due to the CV auditorium being booked on April 5th I had to originally change the date to March 27th. However, I received a flood of emails and calls so I changed the date back to April 5th after  La Crescenta Elementary School gave us permission to use their auditorium for the meeting. 
I apologize for the changes and understand that families have many activities which must be juggled.
Sometimes events come up which are out of my control and I do my best to accommodate, but unfortunately they don't always work out for everyone.  In this situation, I felt that it was best to stick with the original date and find another venue since the auditorium was booked.
I hope you understand.  Have a great weekend!
