NOTES: Perk Pups Soccer Team to begin for their 3rd season September 10th-November 5th, 2011.  Coach Joe Lindwall and (new this year) Coach Katie Bellon will get creative in keeping those 3-5 yr olds engaged in fun drills. This is mostly an “active social” group, allowing kiddos to romp and parents to connect, and Wash Perk is the VERY FORTUNATE sponsor :-P

Contact Joe at joelindwall@hotmail.com before August 18th if you haven’t already.  This year we will create a sub group of “Perk Puppies” for the <3yr old siblings!

AT THE PERK


Good luck to CHLOE BILLS, one of our amazing bus peeps.  She is entering her final semester at South High and beginning her college curriculum AND her family is moving to Centennial!  This will allow her to visit us at the Perk to study, but not enough time to keep a work schedule.  We are very happy for her, her choices and the person that Chloe continues to be.  These young peeps provide me so much anticipation of where our world may be headed :-P

GOODBYE and HELLO!


There are lots of transitions that have been happening and will continue in the weeks ahead.  I’ve shared already about JASON “BEAR” BERRETT coming on board and that ASHLEIGH EDELMAN will be leaving us after nearly 3 years at the Perk…. A few more losses for us in August:  ZOE LEANZA  will head to Macalester College in St. Paul, MN;  KRISTEN BAIR will embark on her semester at sea in the Caribbean!!! (part of her Scripps College curriculum); MADELINE OVERLY is taking on an adventure, moving to the pacific northwest and challenging herself to learn and grow.  We will so feel their absence…and we remain grateful and happy about the times we’ve shared.  Zoe and Kristen will return on their breaks!


And the new faces to welcome are CHELSEA ACERS and CODY McLAUGHLIN as baristas extraordinaire, both experienced and both lovely people; MK SAGARIA will begin as our weekday manager (she has been our Perkolator Ambassador since March); BEN EASTER will join us at the Perkolator;  and we will welcome back HOLLIE CAZZANIGI since she gave birth to her second child, Emma Grace.
