Final New Orleans Trip Info

Travel Details:
• Going there:
o We plan on leaving at 6 p.m. on Friday, July 28th from the church building
o We should arrive at the Tammany Oaks Church building somewhere around lunch time on Saturday.
o You should plan for up to 2 meals on the way to Tammany Oaks (breakfast and probably lunch), but you should eat dinner before we leave.
o We will be traveling on a charter bus with a professional driver. Also, we will be changing drivers along the way so that one driver will not be driving the entire way.
• Coming back:
o We plan on leaving Tammany Oaks (Mandeville), at 8 a.m., on Friday, August 4th.
o This should put us arriving at Grand Central in the (very) early morning hours of Saturday, Aug. 5th. (We figure this will be alright since you will be anxious to see your kids and they will be anxious to rest in their own beds)
o You should plan for 2 meals on the way home (lunch and dinner). We will eat breakfast at Tammany Oaks before we leave.
Money
• The cost of the trip is $274. This cost is significantly reduced if you participated in fundraisers. This money should be turned in as soon as possible. If you are unclear on how much you actually owe, see Adam or Dana.
• Also, if you have been unable to raise all of your money, see Adam and Dana as soon as possible. We want you to go on this trip and will help make it possible.
• Your $50-$100 spending money is to cover your meals while we are traveling and our day trip (meal, souvenirs, etc.) on Sunday. This money will not be turned in to us. Each individual is responsible for their own spending money.

Misc. Info
• You will need to turn in your “Volunteer Sign-In” form to Adam or Dana before we leave (adults too). You may download one from the youth blog (www.gcym.blogspot.com) or get one from Adam.
• We are strongly recommending work boots and jeans for the work sites (check Steve and Barry’s to get these items cheap). Tammany Oaks will provide shirts for the workday. The “jeans” thing is not a moral/modesty type rule. This is about safety. You may wear more casual (though modest) shorts, etc. in the evenings. We will be attending Tammany Oaks Worship service on Sunday morning, but the dress is casual.
• Also, you will want some sort of sandals for the shower.
• Tammany Oaks has air mattresses available, but if you have your own, it might not be a bad idea to bring it.
