Maureen in Rhode Island sent her Other Me sister a lovely slideshow describing the world as a global village.

Oh, sorry.
One of my sisters changed her email address and I tried to guess!
I am glad you enjoyed the email!
Have a good weekend
Maureen

Connie in Georgia is asking me questions I don’t know the answers to.

Sarah,
Should I use the AASL standards since Georgia does not have any?
Thanks,
Connie

Georgia’s Library Media standards disappeared several years ago. We do have GaDOE policies. Many Media Specialists use the SACS, AASL, ALA, and ISTE standards.

April in Seattle and I had a very nice conversation. She seems to be quite busy feeding her child’s teachers.

Re: Hospitality Oct 7
If I have already emailed you from Amie French’s list sorry- This is the list for this year!
Hello Hospitality volunteers,
Thank you all for signing up to help with hospitality. We have 30 people interested in helping with hospitality this year! This is my first year helping out with hospitality and I am very excited to be a part of this group. We will set up a wonderful meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) for the teachers/faculty each month. Each month we will have a different theme for decorations and Meals. I will email everybody two weeks in advance before each function. I want everybody to feel like they can participate as much as they want. I realize life is busy and expensive so do what YOU can.
You can help by bringing an ingredient, serving dish, a prepared meal, decorations or helping set up or break down. If you can’t prepare a big meal than maybe bring one or two ingredients and as a group we can build a delicious meal!
Our first dinner for the teachers will be on Tuesday October 7 starting at 4:30PM. I want to do an “Italian theme” dinner. Tammy and Amie were telling me that we should have enough for 30 people and have around 2-3 main dishes, salad and bread. What I need help with:
Main dish- Pasta dish (1 person for 30 people –OR- 2 people for 15 people)
Main dish- Pasta dish (1 person for 30 people –OR- 2 people for 15 people)
Main dish- Lasagna (April )
Salad-
Bread-
Dessert-
Dessert-
Plastic pitchers- I will bring the ice tea
Decorations- I would love to have a “fall” theme (pumpkins, leaves etc)
Extra- Note for teachers, Set up, break down etc
I will be constantly emailing everybody the updated list. Again if you can’t bring a dish but can bring an ingredient I would love to cook it.
I will find out if your child could bring the ingredient to school to have me pick it up.
Because this is my fist time I would love suggestions for this dinner as well as future dinners!
Thank you, April

I’m sorry, you’ve sent this to the wrong Sarah Morgan - I’m afraid I don’t know you!

Re: Hospitality Oct 7
Hello Sarah Morgan,
Sorry- I am the PTA Chair person for Hospitality and Teacher appreciation at Crescent Heights Elementary school. I got your info from a sign up sheet that was sent home with your child. I hope this helps. Are you still interested in helping?
Thanks April

Re: Hospitality Oct 7
No, I think you’ve misunderstood - I’m sure you intended to reach someone named Sarah Morgan, and my name IS Sarah Morgan, but I’m single, childless, and live in New Jersey. I’m pretty sure I’m not the Sarah Morgan you wanted to be speaking with!

From: April
To: Sarah
Re: Sorry
No I don’t think you want to help out at a school in Seattle WA. LOL

Re: Sorry
Yeah, I’m all for volunteering, but that’s a bit extreme :) Good luck though!

Mistaken Identity 61-70

by Sarah Morgan on September 19, 2008

In the most recent episodes,  Other Me’s in West Virginia, Canada, Chicago, Michigan, England, and elsewhere enjoy British science fiction, participate in online collaborations, shop at Mexx, enter to win trips to Europe, want to see Kiera Knightley in The Duchess, become concerned about their retirement funding, purchase organic vegetables, go out for drinks, check out their friends’ face paint, and more.

Apparently, apart from the face paint, we all have a lot more in common than just the same name. And even the girl with the face paint looks exactly like my friend Annemarie. This is starting to get weird.

And if you’re playing along at home, the Other Me whose mom keeps thinking I’m her is the Canadian one. Mama Susan, IT’S NOT ME.

A selection follow below.

Sarah,
I’m really sorry I couldn’t meet you out Saturday night. I had to go back to my hometown for my mother’s birthday. It would have been nice to hang out before you left. I just wanted to wish you lots of luck. I’m sure you will do great out on the west coast! I was just out there 3 weeks ago and I’m very jealous that you will be living in that beautiful side of the country. Congrats!

Steve

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for the great weekends that we’ve had… Attached are the photos. I’m really sorry that the red eye reduction wasn’t working better: for some reason the computer wanted us to have red eyes! See everyone soon!

Subject: My 3-Day Update

It’s hard to believe, but this year’s 3-Day event is only 6 weeks away! I feel so blessed to be able to participate in this event for the second year in a row. Many of you have asked how you can show your support during the weekend of the walk. The answer is that there are a couple different ways.

First, there is a “post office” at the three day camp where all walkers can go and check for mail. Cards and letters of encouragement can be sent to the following address: [redacted]

All mail needs to be received by September 1st in order to be available for me to pick up.

Second, anyone is welcome to cheer walkers along on the route. This year’s route will take us through the following communities: Farmington Hills, Northville, Plymouth, Livonia, Westland, Dearborn, and probably a few others that I am forgetting. Cheering stations will be set up along, and will be announced in a few weeks. I will be sure to pass the times and locations along to you as soon as I get them, but just a reminder the event is the last weekend in September, the 26th through the 28th.

Once again, I just want to thank each of you for your support and encouragement!

Jillian

From: Marion
Subject: Referee Request

Dear Sarah

My name is Marion and I am the Education and Training Coordinator at the Burnet Institute in Melbourne, Australia. In July you were a participant at the AusAID staff training program on HIV, conducted by the Head of the Burnet Centre for International Health, Dr Mike Toole, and a CIH Associate, Dr Susan Paxton. I am emailing you to ask if you would be willing to be a referee for this training? Burnet is in the process of developing tender documents to manage a Health Resource Facility being set up by AusAID. As part of the bid we need to prepare some one page Project Data Sheets that reflect the work we do and each of these needs two independent referees. Your only role, if you agreed to be a referee, would be to describe your participant experience of the HIV training workshop if you were contacted by AusAID staff conducting referee checks. They sometimes do not contact all referees and so this request may not involve any follow-up. If you agree to being included as a referee then I would need your full contact details.

Thank you for considering this request.

Kind regards

Marion

Hi Sarah

Just a thought - they have one spot on Kenzie’s GU8 team. They are called the “Bobcats” and the Coach is Brady Nelson. Try and call or email the registrar and you might be in luck!
