Community officers for 2005-2006 will be elected at the June meeting by the Board and will assume office in July.

While Punk Daniels and Vickie Brady remain Board members as past AE & AC lay directors, our thanks go out to Doug Spaeth, Heidi Sawyer, Hattie Downing, Gib Harrison, Cher Valure, Kyle Jones and Buffy White for a job well done as they rotate off their respective Board positions.

We currently have 17 female and 9 male Caterpillar applications on file for the up-coming Summer Chrysalis Flight AC25 July 14 — 17. Please remember that an applicant must be 15-years old to fly on a Chrysalis weekend regardless of the grade they have completed. Applications must be mailed to:

Albemarle Chrysalis
Post Office Box 2707
Elizabeth City, NC 27909

It really does take a lot of "stuff" to put on a 3-day weekend. Here is a list of items needed to complete just one Chrysalis weekend.

50 Warm fuzzies - for Caterpillars & table leaders
50 Caterpillar Pins - for Caterpillars & table leaders
50 Cocoon pins - for Caterpillars & table leaders
50 I'm Lovable butterfly shaped felt pieces - for Caterpillars & table leaders
50 Butterfly foam clothespins - for Caterpillars & table leaders
50 First, Second, & Third Day cards - Caterpillars & table leaders for each day (we have someone who usually makes these for us)
Placemats:

DeColores - 110 Friday lunch

Miscellaneous - 110 Friday dinner

Rise to a New Day - 110 Saturday morning

Butterfly Mats to Sign - 110 Sunday morning (the Chrysalis Agape team does this mat to be consistent)

Fly With Christ - 110 Sunday lunch
Cloth Agape Bags - 50 for Caterpillars (and team who can't locate theirs)
The lanyards for our Chrysalis crosses are made out of rawhide, so we buy the rawhide and put a cross on enough lanyards for each Caterpillar to have one.
and 145 individual prayer times on the weekend Prayer Vigil

Trying to provide everything on this list can be a bit taxing for one person, even for the best of us. However, if you break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks it isn't so hard. For example, if you complete only 2 place mats every other day (with time off for vacations and none on Sundays) one person alone could provide all the place mats needed for an entire weekend. You might say it's a little like trying to eat an elephant, you just take one bite at a time.

So, if you would like to help supply any of these items, contact Chrysalis Agape Chair Donna Harris.

Cale Retreat Summer Camp Counselors Needed

Hey Delores!

I wanted to team on a coming walk and missed the application date. How come teaming cut-off dates for the Flights and Walks are not listed in the Community Calendar?

Thanks for your question. We do run those dates, but because the Board has asked that the Community Calendar be used for Albemarle Emmaus Events, the only time we include due dates in the Community Calendar is when space will not allow entering them elsewhere. So it is possible they were in a newsletter but not where you were looking.

We try to include any approaching deadlines in an area marked "Other Dates of Interest," or, as with the March newsletter, Chrysalis deadlines were included in the Chrysalis AC25 area. In the February newsletter there were no dates listed, but we did include a note about when Sponsor Fees must be paid in the "A Few Things to Remember:" section. When we put the April newsletter together we knew that by the time it was mailed the nearest due date would be for Chrysalis Caterpillar applications so we opted not to include any dates in order to make room for other information.

The last time we ran a complete list of application due dates was in the November 2004 newsletter. We suggest that new Pilgrims and others as well look over past newsletters to keep up with AE policies and important dates. Since you are asking it's probably a good time to run them again.

Here are the dates applications are due:

	Application Due Date
	Team	Pilgrim
Women's AE Winter Walk (mid January)	October 1st	November 1st
Men's AE Spring Walk (early March)	December 1st	January 1st
Women's AE Spring Walk (mid March)	December 1st	January 1st
Chrysalis Summer Flight (mid July)	April 1st	May 1st
Men's AE Fall Walk (early October)	July 1st	August 1st
Women's AE Fall Walk (mid October)	July 1st	August 1st
Chrysalis Winter Flight (late December)	September 1st	October 1st

Applications must be mailed to:
Albemarle Emmaus Post Office Box 1198 Edenton, NC 27932	Albemarle Chrysalis Post Office Box 2707 Elizabeth City, NC 27909

Keep in mind, however, that there really are no Pilgrim/Caterpillar application cut-off dates. Pilgrim/Caterpillar due dates listed are for first consideration, anything after that goes to the next walk unless someone declines a walk and space becomes available on something earlier. So mark your calendars.

While you're making notes, keep in mind that the Chrysalis application fee ($35) and the Emmaus Pilgrim application fee ($40) are due when applications are submitted. Sponsor fees ($150 for both Chrysalis & Emmaus) must be paid by the date due stated in the sponsor letter. If fees are not paid by the due date that Pilgrim/Caterpillar will not be permitted to attend the weekend. That's just one of the reasons it is important that you keep your sponsor letter when you receive it, to keep informed of all important dates.

Avoid being embarrassed and have your money in on time.

I hope this helps without being too much information.
