Elphi 2012 Celebration!
Malibu Camp Weekend
Dear (Contact First Name),Here's some important information for our upcoming weekend trip. Malibu organizers are sending 2 pages on Monday, one Waiver that Malibu requires filling out and returning to Mrs. Mearns, and one detailed newsletter with important information for you all. Please look for these handouts coming home Monday- waivers must be received for participation. Here is a sneak preview of information that is on the newsletter: |

1 : Important! New Medical Waivers
Malibu has its own medical forms going home Monday. These are intended for the American audience, so not all of it pertains to us on this trip. Please disregard these sections:
~ Doctor's signature (second box down). Fill out what you can and sign bottom of box.
~ Immunization Record, not required, but Health History and Allergy info section could be filled out in that box.
~Accident Coverage Insurance number is BC Health Card number. There will be no policy number.
Please bring forms back Tuesday and give to Ms. Mearns.
Please direct questions to elphigrad2012@gmail.com and one of us will get back to you. |

We realize this is a lot of preparation and really appreciate all the work and planning on all your parts as well.
Organizers certainly appreciate your patience while the details are sorted out. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you are unclear on anything, the contact information is to the right.
Please Watch for the newsletter and Malibu Waiver going home Monday, and get this form back Tuesday to Mrs. Mearns.
