USED PRINTER CARTRIDGES AND CELL PHONES WANTED!
We are partnering with "Recycle for Life" to be a collection location for used items you may just be tossing or otherwise have no use for. Not only do we get to participate in recycling, but we get to earn funds for the school while doing it.
So the next time you change the ink in your printer or trade in for the latest cell phone, remember we have a place for it. Please bring it to the front office with a smile on your face and know you are doing some good.

Carpentry Skills Needed
We are in need of a set of cubbies for student shoes to be put behind the Meadows Hall. This is for the students so they will have a proper place to store their shoes while in eurythmy.
The school will reimburse all material costs we just need the skilled hands to make it!
If you are interested please contact Gina Illes.
Thank you!

CALLING ALL GOLFERS,
WANNA-BE GOLFERS
AND FUN-SEEKERS 
Save-the-Date
May 17, 2013
(A Friday!)
We hope you will join us for the 4th Annual WSOC Golf Tournament, "Driving for the Future", once again at the beautiful Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo. Accepting golfers of all levels for a great day of fun in support of the school. Also accepting all shoppers and fun-seekers for the after-golf party and auction.
Ask anyone who went last year, it was very fun and relaxed in a beautiful setting. We're hoping to expand the after-golf party element this year, so please plan to be there. This event is heavily attended by friends of WSOC families who golf, so please think about inviting your co-workers, weekend warrior buddies or anyone who wouldn't mind taking a Friday off of work for an excellent cause.
And to all the ladies out there...this is NOT a mens-only event. Could this be the year a ladies foursome brings home the big trophy! Come on ladies, this is the perfect excuse to hit the driving range. Let's go.
