Intern Funds

Here's a little update on some funding changes that you can expect for the summer of 2009. We are hopeful that these changes will be received with joy! Heath or Kristi will call you by Tuesday night (6/2) to discuss any questions you may have. Enjoy!

Oh, and we made this video via a laptop, so please excuse the wobbly view of cut-off heads!

Apartment Needs

The apartments come with the most basic of furniture - couch, twin beds, dressers, as well as a kitchen. It is great if you want to bring your own bedding, but with airline baggage costs the way they are, it is understandable if you'd like to not drag those along! Just let us know if you need bedding and towels; we'll make arrangements to have plenty for you.

You guys will take home any food that is left over from the retreat. We'll also try to get you some basics so that you have a few days covered when you move in. You will be going to stores so much during the entire summer, that you'll have plenty of opportunity to fill your cupboards. We will get you some basic cleaning supplies. We will try to get you some basic kitchen supplies as well - pots & pans, paper plates, etc. Any of this type of thing that you can bring yourselves will be great. Just let us know.

The apartments are pretty bare, so feel free to bring things to make it more homey - throw pillows & blankets, pictures, t.v., laptops, clocks, magazines, fans, etc.

Several of last year's interns enjoyed having access to bikes. That is something we can worth with you on to get, if you are interested.

Laundry?

Yes, please plan to do laundry while you are here this summer. There are laundry facilities in the Concordia apartments. If I remember correctly, you are issued a pre-pay laundry card, which you can add to as needed. Is that right, former interns?
