Hey Folks!
I want to start off by
thanking you all for an
amazing summer. I hope that
each and every one of you
had an educational and
enjoyable experience. It
has been really great
meeting you all and getting
to know you better. I
enjoyed myself this summer
and hated to see all of you
guys leave. I really hope
that those who are eligible
will return for another
exciting summer next year.
I can’t explain how happy I
was to hear that we had been
refunded for another four
years. You guys deserved
it. You all have worked
hard and appreciated what
UBMS has done for you. As
some of you already know, I
have now started going out
into the schools. I hope to
make it out to see everyone
by the end of this month.
If there is anything that I
can do for you before I get
out to your school, please
do not hesitate to call or
e-mail.
There of course have been
some changes in the office.
Bubba has packed his things
and Tina has moved in. I
know that things won’t be
the same without Tim, but
I’m sure that he will always
be there for us if we need
him. Tina Moore has joined
us here in the office as our
work study employee. She
will be helping out a lot
here in the office by
putting things in files,
answering phones, and
helping setting up Saturday
activities. I’m not exactly
sure of when a new Director
will be in place. I will
let you know when and if I
hear anything.
Our first Saturday Activity
of 2007 will be September 29th
from 10:00 am—2:00 pm in the
lecture hall located next to
the Planetarium (ATC
building). We will begin
the morning by discussing
some of the things to look
forward to this upcoming
year. We will discuss some
of the changes being made in
UBMS and then close off the
afternoon with icebreakers
and other fun games. If you
do not think you will make
it, you must let me know as
soon as possible.
If you guys need anything,
give me a shout. I will be
posting things on the
myspace group page so be
checking that out. Also,
make sure you read the
monthly newsletter online
and turn in that homework.
See you soon!

UBMS Photo Page
Heather Holland
came up with the idea of sharing summer photos with one another
through the internet. She has setup a webpage through
photobucket.com in which UBMS participants can share their photos
and order a CD of photos if they desire. The following are
directions and a link so that you can view and upload your own
photos.
-
save your pictures to a folder on your computer
-
go to
www.photobucket.com
-
put in these two items:
sign in name:
UBMSsummer2005
password:
bubba
-
click on browse and find the folder your pictures
are in
-
double click on the picture (it will bring you back
to the main page) then click submit
-
it’ll take some time
depending on how fast or slow your computer is, but your picture
will load up there.
-
keep adding pictures from the summer, the final
trip, anything to do with UBMS
