area6@interact5170.com
and we'll get you hooked up with a ticket to our OUT-OF-THE-WORLD Interact Area 6's Annual Benefit Show!!
So what do you say? Are you convinced yet?
I already have some students telling me that they're staying afterschool, waiting until the doors open up since we open up at 5 PM!
I say that you, as that intelligent, fun-loving individual, make the decision. Wouldn't you want to make every experience in your high school career, count? Making every experience, every second, and every memory you're bound to make, the best reminiscence you can look back to, without regretting and thinking to yourself, "Darn, what if I had spent ONLY 10$ and a few hours of my night to go out to that Interact Benefit Show.."
Hey, i'm only trying to save you, and make your experiences in high school better! Make those "What-If's" into "Have-Done's!!"
As a senior, you're going to want to have those memories to fill up every single page of that story-book published, and written by YOU.
Let's make this night, a night to a remember, let's make these dreams, a dream of reality, let's make this wish, a wish come true,
'cause on April 14th, Interact Clubs of Area 6, will show you that..
.. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.
Especially all you guys from AREA 6IX, 7EVEN, and 8IGHT!
I'm sure most of you have already heard about our dance months ago, and it's finally going down!!
The theme of this dance is to show that all of you guys have a place in this world, that all of you guys have an impact on something and someone, but simply said, I know you're affecting someone's life out there, or will once you attend this dance (;
Let me tell you the deal about what's going on with our dance, cause I know that you're leaning off your chair, staring at this screen, prying with your eyes to find out where, and when this is going to be!!

Who: YOU, Interactors, PWR-KIDS(Do I smell an reunion?!) and ANYONE out there who wants to relieve their stress, or just want a night out with the greatest people in the world, and if you're like me, and you end up not going to your Sadies, this is the place where you could meet your date for next years'!
What: A Benefit Dance that Area 678 is putting together to raise funds for our District 5170 International Project, END POLIO NOW!!!!!
Tickets are sold in Advanced for $10, and at the door for $15, the attire is Semi-Formal, just cause I know you girls go gaga over those guys in those vests, and guys, you know what what dresses do to man, they make hearts skip beats <3
When: February 27th, 2010, Doors will open at 6PM, and music will stop at 10PM.
Where:
Holiday Inn Ballroom
1740 North First Street
San Jose, CA 95112
Why: Because how else would you want to spend a wonderful Saturday evenning, missing out on meeting all those cuties out there, or staying at home wishing you had some of those facebook comments to reply to?
DO THE RIGHT THING :)
So let me tell you one thing, if you rather be spending your time once again, sitting at home, on saturday night playing a ridiculous amount of games on your 360's, PS3's, boys, IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!
Girls, if you are out at the mall, thinking about buying that cute little dress, or have bought one of those "emergency-dresses-that-you-knew-you-had-to-have-just-because-you-know it-looks-adorable-on-you-and-you-know-it-will-come-in-handy" kinda dresses, here's your time to shine, to look drop-dead gorgeous, having fun meeting and dancing will all of your new and old friends!
So let's rewind a little bit, Saturday night, Feb. 27th, tickets are ONLY $10, you have the chance to attend a dance if you didn't go to sadies, or if you had a lot of fun with your date to sadies, here's another opportunity to strike up another date-proposal boys!, and everything is going to go to END POLIO NOW, what's there to lose, when all you simply have to do is make yourself say YES, open those opportunity-doors instead of keeping them padded-lock.
I want to see YOU out there, because simply said,
On February 27th, You Belong With Me <3.
01/19: PWR 2/6-2/7!
So can I borrow your eyes for just a minute and have you ponder around this message I have especially for YOU?
All right, now that I have your attention, I want you to know about this very special, very incredible, and VERY fun leadership workshop the DIstrict Council of 5170 puts together again, JUST FOR YOU!
It's called the President's Winter Retreat, and there will be Interactors from all over our District, attending out leadership workshops to exemplify, amplify, and magnify THAT leader hiding in you.
The workshop will be held at
YMCA Camp Campbell

Boulder Creek, CA 95006
We would love to have all of you incoming, and current club presidents to attend, to show and guide you towards a successful future in your club!

I know i'm about to go all out to dressing up, so save that trip to the mall for Sunday, play your Call of Duty friday night, and do that homework during the day so you can get ready to come out to Interact Area 6 Annual Charity Dinner: DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' !
Just a reminder, there is an upcoming Area Meeting this Sunday at 9 AM, this meeting will be mandatory since we will be breaking into our Committees for our Area 6 Annual Charity Dinner.
