Last year we saw a Hawaiian group at the Aquarium. When they said they were located in a city about 10 miles from here, we took their business card. It took me a year, but I finally contacted them about signing Tabitha up for classes. I received a reply very quickly that told me I would receive an August calendar as soon as July was over. Well, August is almost over and I never heard from them again. I tried emailing again, but didn't get a response after a week so I called instead. She told me I'll have access to the members' area of the website and that would give me the location and the calendar. Okay, I got that, but how do I actually enroll the child in the class? She didn't seem to understand my question so I clarified by asking her is we just show up and that is apparently the way it works. It's a little different than most of Tabitha's other classes where you enroll and pay fees ahead of time. Anyway, we'll see how it goes next week when we take Tabs to the first class. I hope she really likes it as I'd like it to be an ongoing thing for her.

In other "trying-to-sign-up" news, I contacted the neighborhood manager for where we live to find Tabitha a Daisy Girl Scout troop. I received a reply the next day telling me she would get back to me ASAP. This was back in the middle of July. So I emailed again a week ago and heard nothing. So I emailed the membership director today and hope to hear from her. I tried calling the council office, but that didn't seem to be the right route. I don't understand why these two simple things that I want to sign Tabitha up for are so difficult to actually get into? It's just frustrating.
