Feed My Starving Children Event

Hello,

Thanks to all families for being willing to contribute to this event. We are still interested in adding any parents that would like to come and volunteer with us after fall field day.

If you would like to come and join us for the event, please let me know. It would be great to have a few more adults with this large group and it should be a fun time working for a great cause.

One thing to note is that students will need to be driven from the Lexington-Diffley complex at 2:00pm rather than Trinity School.

Here are the details:

Drivers: Ryan (10), Bodette (7), Maunu (6), Viltoft (3), Kranz (4), True (3), Sommer (4), Jesse Schoen (3), Lisa Schoen (6)

Directions:
From Lexington-Diffley Athletic Complex to FMSC - turn left onto Lexington Avenue and go north for 3 miles, turn right onto Lone Oak Road going east, pass Neil Armstrong Blvd and then take the first right into the industrial area and go to the far east side of the business building straight ahead.

From FMSC to Trinity - turn right onto Lone Oak Road going east from the FMSC parking lot, take that to Dodd Road and go north (take a left), stay right on Dodd Road through the 55/149 split, turn right (east) onto O'Neill Drive, take that about one mile to Trinity.

Adult Workers: Jesse Schoen, Kim Kelly-Sommer, Lisa Schoen, Sylvia Ryan, Barb Bodette, Karen Maunu, Anne Viltoft, BJ Kranz, Sandra True
(If you are driving for the event, we are expecting you to help be an adult chaperon for food packing...please let me know if that will not work out for you.)

Schedule:

1 - Arrive at the Trinity Fall Field Day site (Lexington-Diffley Athletic Complex in Eagan) at 1:45pm. We will meet in the parking lot to the south of the athletic fields off Lexington Avenue.

2 - Fall Field Day ends at 2:00pm, we will drive students to the Feed My Starving Children location (990 Lone Oak Road, Suite 160 Eagan, MN).

3 - Participate in the 2:30-4:30pm training and work shift with the cross country team.

4 - A quick meet recap from the Private School Championships outside FMSC.

5 - Transport students back to Trinity after the meet recap...leaving FMSC at roughly 5:00pm, to be at Trinity by 5:30pm.

If fall field day is moved indoors at Trinity School, we would then transport students from Trinity to Feed My Starving Children at the same times listed.

If fall field day is cancelled, we will have a normal cross country practice at Trinity School from 3:30-5:30pm as we would not be able to make the 2:30pm start time needed to participate at Feed My Starving Children.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse
