Field Trip to Cartoon Network and Primal Screen

After much wrangling and weazel-ing, I have finally been able to get confirmation with my contacts at Cartoon Network and Primal Screen for a date for us to take a field trip to Atlanta. It will be Friday, October 26 -- all day.

I didn't have to do this. This is not a requirement of my job. I wanted to do this for you. I have worked really hard to get this to happen and called out a number of favors from friends. It is a very unusual opportunity as Cartoon Network does NOT generally give tours or let in the public. Security is tight and they have asked that we only bring a very limited number of students as they don't have facilities to accommodate large groups. The top grade averages for GD I , II and III have earned a spot on the roster.

GD I:
Tindall
Horton
Pagel
Flynt
Todd

GD II:
Head
DeFilippis
Cook
Derrick

GD III:
Douthit
Sutz
Marston
Ramos
Rivadeneira
Pontip V.

For you to be able to go you must:
1.) commit to attend an "orientation" meeting next Tuesday October 23 from 4:30-5:30
2.) arrive at the meeting having done your homework on Cartoon Network and Primal Screen. Who are they, what do they do, what is their history, etc. Find out as much as you possibly can about both. CN and Primal Screen have asked what sorts of topics you would like for them to cover, so come with well-informed, intelligent questions that we will discuss in the Tuesday meeting. After that, I will be sending CN and PS a list that they will base their presentations on.
2.) dress in a nice, professional manner
3.) write a well-designed, approved-by-me thank-you note to both places afterwards (we will discuss)
4.) be on time
5.) car-pool 


Our appointment at Primal Screen is at 11:00am and Cartoon Network is 2:00pm. You must leave Carrollton no later than 9:00am on Friday. You will not be back until at least 6:00pm. It is NOT an option to go to one place and not the other. This is all or nothing.

If you are on the roster, it is imperative that you confirm that you agree to the above conditions and that you will attend by sending me an email at jhannaford@comcast.net before 8:00am on Monday, October 22. If I do NOT receive an email from you by then, you will be dropped from the roster so we can add those next in the list. I am required to send a list of names to Security at Turner Studios Monday morning.
