A Few More Details on Packets
Posted by Brian at 10:21 pm on Sunday, May 11, 2008
Hi everyone! Just a couple other things about packets to add onto what Steve’s said.
1) Steve and I do not have anything to do with the receiving and answering of packet request forms. Therefore, we have no way of knowing if an individual request was or was not received. If you are concerned that you have not received a packet, please contact the office via email () or by phone (513-529-7741).
2) Please be patient with the office staff and the sending of packets. Each request is processed as efficiently as possible. However, this is not the only activity going on at this time (National Latin Honor Society, JCL chapter registrations, the American Classical League’s Institute, and a slew of other things are going on simultaneously). The office has a highly dedicated, yet small, staff, so response may not be immediate. If your postmark was May 1st, you should get a packet no later than this coming week (Week of May 12). If you have not, then you should be concerned.
3) Please, PLEASE, when you get your packet, fill it out COMPLETELY. Check every blank and see who needs to fill in what. Even if your sponsor is not going, he or she is responsible for filling in and verifying certain details (grade level, level of Latin, giving permission to go). Likewise, there are a number of things that parents need to complete (signing for permission, completion of medical info form). Lastly, find out if your delegation/state/people with whom you are traveling are staying on Sunday night-you will need to complete the last form and send in an extra $30 with your packet. If you forget to do anything before sending it in, you will get it back-at your expense-and then have to send it back-at your expense. You will also make Mary Smith angry - you wouldn’t like her when she’s angry. Oh, and don’t lose the White Booklet.
4) Other Questions We Can’t Answer:
- Who would win in a roll-call showdown: the Wisconsin Spirit Cow or the Maine Lobster?
- What is the supersecret ending to the next Indiana Jones movie?
- Fu vs. Chuck Norris?
- How many Bothans died to bring the Rebellion the plans to the second Death Star?
Email any other convention related questions to and . So long for now!

First off Ohio is going to win the Roll Call DUH!!!
Secondly, thanks for blowing the super secret ending to Indy Jones…
Thirdly, what are Bothans and who cares if they die...?
Finally, Chuck Norris would win a physical fight but Fu could definitely get more girls...perhaps…
