IF YOU ARE DROPPING YOUR CHILD OFF,
DETERMINE HIS RETURN RIDE BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
Most likely, the person who is driving
can take your child back to Wake Forest.

Bring enough money for entrance fees
($6 for general seating, what we usually get)
and snacks ($100 for hotdogs and nachos and such,
since you never get full at a ball game).

STUDENT NIGHT OUT:
Every Friday night furing the summer,
all students are invited to go out after class
to grab a bite, be it an ice cream, a burger,
pizza, a soda or milkshake,
or simply join in on our summer chat.
We meet at a place near the dojo. Summer treat!
You don't need to attend class to join us.
