Congratulations!!!

I wish we had this sort of thing in Canada (I haven't found one yet ) as my daughter is passionate about memorizing and reciting poetry!! The closest thing I found here in the city was the Robbie Burns Club

Your family has every right to be excited, Chari. This is wonderful.

I'm as excited as a...a proud aunt. Doing the happy dance with you.

Hooray, Matthew!! We'll all be cheering him on from here. Tell him he ought to make a podcast of his reading. We'd love to hear him.

You are justifiably proud, Chari!!! Give him hugs from us,

Thanks, everybody for sharing our joy!

Cay, I know exactly how you feel........I never got to post at your PROUD thread....I have been having LOTS of trouble posting ........but I am a proud "aunt", too

I LOVE the title: Robbie Burns Club .......sounds promising!   

I have shared your messages with Matthew....he thanks you.

I have no idea how to do the podcast thing........sorry

They give a stipend for the travel expenses........$625 AND an apology it was not more!!

I am SO relieved about the amount, because we kind of tight money-wise. This COVERS everything.......plus Matthew can purchase two poetry books of his poets.....AND, it MAY cover the $100 Marty just spent on making the boy handsome in a new outfit.

Now, to go post for some travel prayers!

God bless! Pray for a winner! Esp between the hours of 12 noon and 3 pm PST!

(I already know he is a winner no matter what! )
