No parade on May 26, Local camp from Jun 1-2

Dear girls,

Please be reminded that there is NO parade this coming Saturday as we will all be involved in the Nanyang Arts Carnival.

I would like the other 4 girls (Michelle, Joelle, Joy & Dana) who have attended JLTC, but have yet to lead any songs and games session to help lead games during the camp if you are attending the camp. So far only Michelle and Joelle are attending the camp, so can the 2 of you please take charge of the games. If Joy & Dana sign up for the camp too, then they will chip in and help.
