WDC AGENDA May 6,2025
* 1. 32 days abd counting. Deadline for all money is May 9, 2025. Total is
$3850.00. I hope. Remember, our grooup total dropped below 35 parti-
cipants, that is why the expense increased. If we drop below 30, then it
will increase even more. The total is due on Friday May 9, 2025. (if you
don't have this amount by the deadline, please talk to me. We can make
arrangements for payment.) DO NOT DROP OUT OF THE TRIP,
PLEASE!
NOTE: United Airlines is requiring a $100.00 deposit per person per
plane ticket. This was due in March 2025. If you have given $75.00,
make sure you have given the other $25.00 personal money to cover
this fee. This will cover the deposit required by United Airlines.

10. Cell Phone-is not permitted on the bus while we are on tour in WDC.
They are to remain off or on silent. Cell phone cameras are allowed. If this
expectation is not followed, then we will revert to the past policy of
keeping the cell phones in our hotel room. This policy will be reviewed
as we progress through the school year. We'll discuss this more at future
meetings.
11. Meeting Expectations: If you cannot make a meeting, please contact me
or Mr. Fernandez the next day. If you miss many meetings, I will assume
you are not going. Don't make us guess if you are going on the trip.
Please contact one of us if we reach out to you.
*12. The most important date to remember: March 3, 2025 is the most
important date. If you decide to withdraw after this date, you will
lose $100 of your personal money. This means that prior to this
date, I will have submitted the airplane ticket deposit fee to United
Airlines. This is United Airline's policy, not Mr. Alamillo's.
