I didn't have the opportunity to post a message last week, so I was definitely going to get to it this week. I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer. I can't say that I'm super happy with how mine is going, but I'm always learning from experiences. I know there are things that I will do different next summer. Sometimes things don't go the way you plan but they still work out okay. I haven't gotten the photography and videography supplies that are to be used for our Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) projects, but that's not stopping us from trying to learn the new software and make some awesome creations. If you haven't checked out After Effects you need to see the cool titling this program can create. You can watch videos on how to use all of the programs in the Adobe Creative Suite by visiting www.tv.adobe.com.
I'm pretty happy with the participation and creativity of several members. I have seen some good projects uploaded to the Village. I haven't seen very many hand-drawn artwor
k, but I hope that will change. The plans for our first Field Trip Friday did not go as expected, but it was still a lot of fun. Kelvin, Malik, Laresha and I had a great time on our photo/video excursion. We took pictures throughout the neighborhood and enjoyed dinner at the local Wendy's restaurant. It was a beautiful, sunny evening as you can see from this picture of Kelvin. Unfortunately the weather has not been very good for us to get out and do photoshoots. It is reported that there will be scattered showers this Friday. This means that our excursion for this Friday will have to be cancelled. I think that the only way to make these missed opportunities up is to plan a Field Trip Friday for each of the remaining weeks. What do you think? Remember, we were planning to go downtown this Friday and to the Zoo two weeks later. If we move this Friday's trip to after Teen Summit, then the new schedule would be:

Are you interested in participating in any of these trips?
Clubhouse Closing
The clubhouse will be closed next week (July 26 - 30). Donovan, James, Marcellous and I are going to Boston for 
Teen Summit 2010! This event is a week of fun learning that includes staying on the campus of Northeastern University. You can check out the Village to find out more about Teen Summit. It is a biennial event held in Boston since 2002. The Village has lots of pictures and information about the different tracks, the career fair, and the cruise on the Charles River. The career fair offers the opportunity to speak with workers from some very interesting companies, like Intel, Google, Microsoft and even Harmonix, the company that makes Rock Band! Here is a picture of Desmond, a member of our clubhouse who went to Teen Summit 2008. He is holding the new Rock Band guitar--before it came out!
