This Coming Wednesday's Meeting (8/2/2012)

Hi All ELS Members and New ELS Members,

This coming Wednesday's meeting (8/2/2012) will be fun and also brain challenging at the same time. I will require the whole lot of you to be prepared to let loose and have fun during the games, but towards the end, during a simple test, I expect all of you to be equally serious. Play hard, but work harder!

The test will require you to know your two-letter words for scrabble so do memorize them.

Fwd By Nicole

Hi Guys,

This is a message im writing on behalf of nicole:

Guys, I cannot stress enough how important it is that you work as a team. Like i say time and time again- although you go up there alone, you;re representing a team, a name an entity. You can't prep alone!!! It does'nt matter whether you use Google Docs or MSN messenger to prep but you must do it AS A TEAM and you need to communicate with each other- you are as strong as your weakest link and you don't want ant of that! So I better see more teamwork when you debate, more coherence and uniformity when I very you cases, okay? I want you guys to do well and the first step forward is to start being a team! Keep at it, Guys!

P.S If you forgot to mail nicole yesterday, please remember to mail it by tonight. thanks.

Regards,
Shaun Tan
