VOGS Meeting 1-2pm

THE DATE: Saturday, October 27th is the date for our annual fall meeting at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. The Park will be open from 10:00 a.m. until midnight. The Park is open late on Saturdays in October for Howl-O-Scream. Members attending will be responsible for providing their own transportation to and from Busch Gardens.

THE MEETING: We will meet in the Black Forest Picnic Area, adjacent to the Festhaus from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. for a dessert meeting. Each person attending this meeting must pay $10, which covers the cost of reserving the meeting space, a slice of Black Forest cake, ice cream and beverages. During the meeting, we will have two contests(see below) and get to know other VOGS members.

COST: The cost of admission to Busch Gardens this year is $45.00 per person (regular admission is now $75). You will receive one free admission ticket for every 25 paid. The catered dessert meeting will be an additional $10 per person. The total price per person for admission and the dessert meeting is $55.

EXTRA:The contests are a little different this year in order to accommodate the chaos. Chaos is a good thing though, as it means more and more students and teachers are joining VOGS and participating in our annual Busch Gardens event!

THE CONTESTS: VOGS will sponsor two contests at the meeting this year:

  1. RATE MAL! - Participants will have the chance to guess the number of Gummibären in a large jar. The person who guesses the closest without going over will win the jar. Lecker!
  2. SING EIN DEUTSCHES LIED! - Any school may participate in this event by singing a German song. The contest will be divided in two ways: a middle school contest and a high school contest. All sizes may enter under the category they fit (individual to large group). Prizes will be awarded to the top three performances in each division.

DAS PROGRAMM:

1-1:15PM – Students will enter the Black Forest Picnic Area and have the opportunity to participate in “RATE MAL!”, eat some cake and ice cream, drink some soda and socialize.

1:15-1:20PM – Introductions of VOGS Officers, brief announcements and gathering of student participants of “SING EIN DEUTSCHES LIED” contest.

1:20-1:30PM – SING EIN DEUTSCHES LIED
