Comments:
* We need more speakers for this program. Please volunteer or spread the word around so that we can offer our children more information about many more careers. If you have missed the previous email about career day and would like to know more about it, please emailvp_programs@giftedinfremont.org orpresident@giftedinfremont.org
** This program is only possible if we have volunteers or mentors for students (one mentor per 5 students). We would love to bring this program for all the children, specially for those children whose schools do not offer it. More information on the program can be found at http://svomer.org/


At this point I would like to invite you to renew your membershipand make use of of these amazing programs from our volunteers. You need to be TGIF member to attend any of these workshops. Your membership will help us bring more better focused programs. If you know somebody who has a identified gifted child in FUSD but has never become a TGIF member tell them about us. They can still join. They will need the security code. They can get that by writing to me or by writing tovp_membership@giftedinfremont.org .

Also, If you could volunteer to chair or help out in any of the programs or would like to bring in more programs, please contact Deepa atvp_programs@giftedinfremont.org or me.

We would also like to hear from you: what kinds of programs excite you and your child. Did we miss out on some category? Would you like to see some more programs? We are open for suggestions and recommendations.

Thank you
TGIF Volunteers.
