P2P: Hawaiian Island Discovery

Thank you to all Ambassadors and Families for contributing to the success of the first Orientation Meeting of Akron's own Hawaiian Island Discovery Delegation! All of the leaders were impressed with the caliber of Ambassador we have in our delegation. Your parents even stepped up to the plate to pitch in and I can tell with all of the effort you are all sharing with the group, we are going to be a delegation to set the standard for others to come!

Ambassadors:

• Get started on your journal. EVERYONE will share their journal with others at the next meeting!
• Remember to bring the items listed on your agenda to the next meeting. Leaders are going to keep track of how prepared you are. (The more responsibility you show, the more we will be able to give to you on the program!)
• Thank you for being so accepting of your new friends on Sunday. You all presented yourselves as very mature delegates.

Families:

• If you have an email that is not connected to the Google Group site, just send a quick request to join to Susan at her home email. She'll add you that night.
• Thank you for sharing your questions after Sunday's meeting. If you have anymore, please email us and let us know.
• Get on the On Board site with your delegate and play around with the information found there at www.studentambassadors.org. You can help your Ambassador make contacts with friends met at the January meeting, check your account balance, update your child's health form and lots more.

Committees:

• Please remember to send Susan the contact person for your committee. As other committees make plans, I can better help them to share information with yours.
• Thank you for taking on these committees! The more empowerment we leaders can share with you, the more quality time we will be able to spend with your children at our meetings.

Because we are traveling to a STATE and not another country for the Hawaiian program, students need not apply for a passport.

Students will need to apply for a State of Ohio ID. This can be obtained at your local BMV. Please substitute "the Ohio ID" in place of the word "passport" in any paperwork you may read for the program.
