SELBY BROADCAST

Happy Sunday afternoon Selby!

     There’s a lot going on in Selby. Grab a beverage and a comfy chair and read on!  
   

Selby-For-The-Hungry

2 October - 15 November
We will be holding our 3rd annual Selby-For-The-Hungry Food Drive from 2 October through 15 November. Please deposit non-perishable food items in the donation bin across from the community center bathrooms. Canned fruit or veggies, tuna, macaroni and cheese, instant mashed potatoes, ramen noodles, cake mix, juices - are a few good ideas. Please no glass containers. Our record was 45lbs in 2012. Let’s see if we can break it!! We are also collecting clean, pink, Yoplait yogurt lids for the month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness.

Boo-At-The-Beach

Saturday, 25 October   6pm-10pm
We will be having a Halloween party this year in Selby that does not fall on Halloween night to accommodate all of our helpful folks who enjoy their families and friends on Halloween. The annual Boo-At-The-Beach will be on Saturday, 25 October at the community center from 6pm to 10pm. There will be activities and contests to enjoy as well as a DJ. One of our contests is a pumpkin carving contest. Please carve pumpkins at home, tag with a non-family related name and bring them to the clubhouse before the party starts. We will use the name for voting purposes. Please take pumpkins with you when you leave. In order to make all of this happen, we need some HELP! Please check out SignUpGenius and sign up for food donations and volunteer opportunities.

We need YOU!!

Halloween

Friday, 31 October
What would Halloween night in Selby be like without our hayrides and bonfire!?! The hayride will still be rolling through the hood on Halloween night. Rides will begin about 7:30ish. The bonfire will be lit after dark. There will be no activities at the community center on Halloween night.

Selby Community Yard Sale

Saturday, 1 November    8am - Noon
We’re cleaning out the clubhouse!! If you have personal property at the Community Center, please retrieve it no later than Wednesday, 15 October. After that date, all remaining property will be donated to the yard sale. Space including a table is available for $15 – so collected your gently used items and bring them down on the 1st. We have 13 tables that will be available on a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to reserve a table or have any questions, please email SOTBReservations@gmail.com.  Set up will start 7:30am on 1 November.  All unsold items must be removed by the owner no later than 1pm.

Small Business Bazaar

Sunday, 16 November  10am - 4pm
There will be a small business bazaar at the community center that will showcase all the wonderful business within the Selby community. Crafters are welcome as well. Table rentals are $20 each and there are 12 tables available. We would also like to have a 50/50 silent basket auction with our small business as well as the rest of the Selby community. What do you mean by “basket”? Simple! Get together a team or you could do it by yourself. Decide on a theme. Purchase items or, if you own your own business, donate some of your product and put together an attractive basket! We’ll auction the baskets off at the small business bazaar and split the profit with the team/small business! This is a great way of advertising your business and can be really fun if you compete with other neighbors to see who can auction their basket off for more!

If you would like to register for a table for your small business, then you can register in person on: 15 Oct (7pm-9pm), 17 Oct (5pm-7pm), 20 Oct (6pm-7pm) and 3 Nov (6pm-7pm). Tables will be available on a first come, first serve basis and registration will be closed when the last table is rented. If you would like to register to make a basket, then please email SelbyBay@gmail.com with the names on your team or business name, products that will be included in your basket and an email address.

Thanks Selby!!

Selby Boo-At-The-Beach

Good evening Selby,
This year for Halloween, we'd like to try and do something a little different. Instead of having Halloween festivities on the night of Halloween, we're going to have a Halloween party on 25 October. We decided that this would be better since many of our volunteers would like to trick-or-treat with their families or hand out candy to neighborhood children on Halloween night. We'll still have our hayride and bonfire on Halloween night though. A Selby Halloween wouldn't be complete without them! Usually the hayride starts around 7:30-8:00pm.
The Selby Boo-At-The-Beach will be held on 25 October at the community center from 6:00pm until 10:00pm. We will have activities and contests for the kids throughout the evening. One of our contests will be a pumpkin carving contest. We're asking for those who would like to enter a pumpkin, to carve their Jack o'Lanterns at home, give it a name (a non-family name on a card) and bring it down to the community center before the party starts. Voters will use the anonymous name to cast their vote.
The success of the Selby-Boo-At-The-Beach relies on you! We need volunteers! We need volunteers to donate snacks. We need volunteers to man the games. This would be great for teens looking for some community service hours. We need volunteers to donate toilet paper. This is for a few of the games. Attached is the link for the SignUpGenius. Please take a look and see how you can help out.

Thanks!!

We will be having a pumpkin carving contest. Pumpkins need to be carved at home and then brought to the community center. We will also have games, contests and a DJ. More details coming soon. Until then...SIGN UP TO HELP!!!

Small Business Bazaar
Selby will be hosting a small business bazaar on 16 November from 10am-4pm. Tables will be $20 and we have a limit of 15 tables on a first come, first serve basis. If you have a small business and would like a table, then registration will be held every other Wednesday night (same night as key/stickers/fobs) at the community center at 7pm until all tables are filled. There will also be a silent basket auction. More details coming soon!

I think that's about it for now! Have a good week!!

Selby Update - LONG!!

Good Afternoon Selby!! (In Robin Williams voice...I will so miss that guy)
This is a big, big update with lots of things to note so please take the time to sit down and read through the post. I would greatly appreciate it. Also, there are several links and I don't know if Facebook will freak out with this so I guess we'll just see what happens. 

SCHOOLS
There's been a lot of concern about how to get information out of the schools. There are ways of doing it, but they keep it under lock and key. I'm not sure why. I'm hoping this information helps everyone. FYI - I try to keep all the schools' newsletter current on the front page of the Selby website. They are posted right now except for the high school who doesn't have a newsletter out yet.

Central Elementary
Twitter: www.twitter.com/CentralESaacps
Website: www.aacps.org/aacps/centrales
Eblast: Send email info to: Secretary@mycentralpta.org
Back-To-School Night: 9 September, 6:30pm

Central Middle 
Twitter: www.twitter.com/CentralMidAACPS
Website: www.aacps.org/aacps/centralms
Email: I have heard that they have an email newsletter, but I have no information on it
Back-To-School Night: 11 September, 6:30 (club info beginning at 5:30)

South River
Twitter: www.twitter.com/SRSeahawksaacps
Website: www.southriverhigh.org
South River Tracker: send email to Kathy Kraus at southriverptso@hotmail.com

The schools have just signed up for Twitter and it's a pretty good idea. I don't know how much info they'll put on it, but you can create a free Twitter account specifically for schools and of course, Selby. ;) The AACPS calendar will be posted on the Selby calendar.

September Happy Hour
The community center will be hosting a private party this Friday SO we're gonna ROCK THE BEACH. It's hotter than...(insert analogy here)...and I'm sure the kiddos will love to swim while the old-er folks lounge and watch them get tired. Hop on down with a cooler and meet and greet some neighbors!!

Yoga
You have asked for it and it will happen...Yoga In Selby! Thank you to Chris Edmonds for spearheading this opportunity for us all to find our Zen. Considering the holidays are crazy for just about everyone, we're gonna start Yoga in January 2015 because I KNOW it will be on everyone's New Year's Resolutions! More information will be coming out in November as to what day and how much and how long. Keep an eye out!

Selby Elections
It's that magical time of year when we get to elect our new SCA Board for 2014-15!! I linked a copy of the Election issue of the Bay Winds which has all the info in it a couple weeks ago. If you would like to nominate someone for a position (all positions and descriptions are in the newsletter), then please get going!! Nominations will be accepted until 7 September. Please email your nominations to one of the three:

goodepilgrim@yahoo.com
loisacarlson@gmail.com
philp4u@verizon.net

The general election meeting will begin at 2:00pm and voting will follow. We'll turn on the football game and nibble some snacks. Please bring your own beverages. If you would like to donate some snacks (I know there some folks who love to cook!), then you may sign up on the Sign-Up Genius at:

http://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040b44aaa92aa46-2014

Please make sure you note what you would like to bring so we don't end up with duplicates. Results of the voting will be read after voting ends at 6:00pm. (voting ends at 6pm...results will be read when they tally them...give our election committee a little bit of time...sheesh!)

Selby Blog
If you have not yet done so, then feel free to sign up for a subscription to the Selby blog. Available blog posts are delivered to your email inbox only one time a day from the previous day's posts. It's a very convenient way to keep up with everything Selby and all you have to do is check your email! 

Tutoring
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in tutoring sessions at the community center. I would love to match older kids (especially those needing community service hours) with younger kids looking for some help (especially in the middle school). Let me know if that's an interest to anyone.

Selby Tots
Selby Tots will be going back to their regular schedule. They will now meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 10:00am to 12:00pm. This is a great way for both parents and kids to meet!

Selby Band
The Selby Band is taking a hiatus for a while. I do believe that they will reunite and will let us know when that happens.

I think that's about it. I told you this was going to be long! I hope a lot of this information is useful to you. If you have any questions or comments about any of the above, then please email SelbyBay@gmail.com. 

Have a great Selby day!!

- Tracie

Reservations, key fobs, parking stickers - 7:00pm
Dumpsters arrive at beach

PLEASE do not put large items in the dumpster like lawn mowers and NO - asbestos, batteries, hazardous waste, paints, oil, liquids, chemicals, pesticides, highly flammable material or propane tanks.
* The Selby band will be on hiatus for the rest of the year. There may a session here or there, but will be announced if scheduled.
* The Selby SCA Board elections are coming up 21 September. Plans are still being made as well as getting information out to the whole community about position descriptions. Remember...voting gives you a right to b...., well you know what I mean. Stay tuned for information on that.
* AACPS will be starting up very shortly. All incoming 7th graders are required by law to have their Tdap (Tetanus) and meningococcal (meningitis). This is a new law. If you are unsure whether your school has your child's vaccination on record, then check with the school now. School begins on Monday, 25 August for elementary, 6th graders and 9th graders. Kindergarten will be a staggered entrance throughout the first week. ALL students will be back in their classes on Tuesday, 26 August.

I believe that is about it for now. Have a great last week of summer vacation kiddos!!
