Dear Parents and Teens,

As you know, our Teen Zone Group has planned a group outing as a way of wrapping up our Teen Support Group for the 2005-2006 program year. On Wednesday, June 21^st we will travel in a large Town owned van to Six Flags New England.

Group members already understand that only regular Teen Zone Members are allowed to participate in the event. Teens receiving this letter and who want to attend this outing with us need to call my office ASAP (508-910-1855) and leave a message letting me know that you want to attend. All phone signups need to be received no later than June 14^th.

Cost: The regular per-person fee for all rides/all day is $49. However we have secured a group rate which is $29 per person, a substantial savings.

Departure:

§ Please arrive at Town Hall at 7:00 AM on Wednesday morning, June 21^st. We will leave by 7:30, sharp! Kevin will have donuts and juice available to hold off starvation until we eat breakfast later on the road.

§ We plan to arrive at the park around 10:00 AM.

What to bring:

§ Kevin has reserved the tickets which we will pick up at the park, but everyone needs to bring $29 in cash and give it to Kevin on the morning we leave, so he can purchase the tickets upon arrival. Teens also need to bring money to buy breakfast and supper on the road and for whatever food and purchases they make in the park. (To help keep costs down, Kevin will bring a large cooler with lunch items to leave in the van. We’ll pick a time to round up for lunch together.)

§ As most already know, the park does not allow food or beverages of any kind to be carried in!

§ Clothing, etc: Bring a light jacket or sweater that can stay in the van if unneeded. Veterans of Six Flags suggest wearing your bathing suit under your clothes! (So it makes sense to also bring a complete change of dry clothes, too, for the ride home, right?) Consider bringing a pillow to nap on while on the road. Bring a backpack with personal belongings, including snacks, etc. (Leave backpack in the van). Bring sun block if you need it! Bring a camera. (Kevin will bring his too.)

Safety:

Everyone understands and agrees that this will be a substance-free outing! J
Kevin will be in the park at all times and everyone agrees to stay in groups of two or more throughout the day, and to check in with Kevin hourly at a predetermined spot.
Parents can contact Kevin via cell at 508-287-9056 anytime during the day.

Return:

We plan on leaving the park between 5-6 PM. We will stop for supper on the road.
We will arrive back at Town Hall between 10-11 PM. If there’s traffic and we’re later than expected, Kevin will drop teens off directly to their homes. But we’ll call to let you know in advance.

If parents or teens have questions, please call my office at 508-910-1855, or my cell at 508-287-9056. Remember, if you want to come, call me ASAP before June 14^th.

Thank you,

Kevin Lee, Youth Advocate
