Main St. Bethlehem Christmas Party
November 20, 2008
Yes, it’s that time of the year again. It’s time to announce the 3rd
annual ARC Christmas party/Main St. Bethlehem visit!
Where: The Maisano’s house (120 Circle Oak Drive, Burnet, 78611,
directions will be available)
When: Sunday, December 14th, 4:30-7:30pm for food and fellowship, and
then we’ll head on over to Main St. Bethlehem
Why: Because it’s quickly becoming an ARC tradition 
. And it’s a
whole lot of fun!
RSVP by December 10th.
Main St. Bethlehem is a very well done recreation of the town of
Bethlehem on the night of Jesus’ birth. It is put on by a church in
Burnet, and every year thousands of people come to visit. It’s
definitely a Maisano highlight of the Christmas season. If you’ve
never been before, you don’t want to miss it!
Bring one appetizer/main dish and one dessert item (preferably finger
foods to make everything simpler).
We will also be having a gift exchange for whoever (this includes
EVERYONE–adults and kids alike!) is interested in participating. The
cost limit is $3, or you can just bring something from your own
closet/drawer/garage/etc. Have fun with it!
ARC debaters: We will hopefully be meeting one hour earlier for a
debriefing session regarding the Brenham tournament on the 11th, so
plan to come around 3:30.
We look forward to seeing you there!
God bless,
Toni
Nov 7th Meeting
November 6, 2008
Speech
For speech time this Friday we’ll be doing an interactive 10-minute segment on interpretation that everyone will be participating in. All students need to prepare/create 2 distinct characters and bring them to ARC (i.e. everyone needs to be able to act “in-character”). A distinct character for these purposes just means a different voice and body posture.
For yall who weren’t planning to compete with an interpretation this year, it’d be nice if you still brought 2 distinct characters to ARC anyway to help with the exercise.
Let me know if any of yall have any questions.
Thanks,
Paul
Debate
I am excited about our upcoming Debate meeting on Friday. We will be talking about research and counter plans. Also, if you were a 1AC and did not have your 1AC memorized guess what! You get to practice it again. We will be pulling 1ACs away during the meeting to recite their speeches before a panel of brilliant judges (Paul Hastings)
