Well Hey There September Squads!!

Here is a quick story for you (feel free to scroll to the end if you just want the facts)……

Once upon a time there were four AMAZING squads filled with super cool people from all over the United States.  They were all getting very excited because they were about to go on an exciting adventure to 11 different countries all over the world.  They had been packing, preparing, and having see-you-later parties, and spending quality time with their good friends and family. 

              

Now, there was just one more thing that they had to do before flying out
of this English-speaking nation and into many mysterious and magical
foreign lands. What was that one thing, you ask? Well, they had to go to LAUNCH in Chicago!!  Oh, that lovely Windy City!

   

At first they were told one thing about their arrival at Launch and then they were told another. This created some confusion but they were prepared to deal with the changes because of their experiences at Training Camp (big wink + thumbs up).  What they didn’t know was that things were about to change one more time….. 

At first they were frustrated by this news but then they quickly realized there was no need to be alarmed because every one of them knew that the third time is a charm and as wise person once said: the first is the worst, second is the best, and third is the one with a TREASURE CHEST!

They were about to receive a treasure chest of NEW INFORMATION regarding their arrival at LAUNCH.
                        

Upon receiving all of their new treasure, the four squads were so happy and relieved to know that this was the LAST TIME that they would have to change their plans regarding their arrival at Launch.  They also knew that the lovely people at AIM felt terrible for the fact that they accidentally gave the squads inaccurate information. The people at AIM were very sorry that this happened and hoped that the four squads would offer them their forgiveness. Which they did because they were AMAZING!

So, how does the story end?  Dunno!  We’ll find out on September 4th and 5th.  But there is a VERY GOOD chance that everything will work out just fine and everyone will get to where they need to be when they need to be there and they will have Launched happily ever after!

                                             What a great story, huh?!?!?
