THE WEEKLY ICO UPDATER (WICOU pronounced Why-COO)
Hello all my happy trivia hounds!
This week we shall kick off the show with some famous movie quotes! The first 5 people to correctly respond back (via e-mail) naming the movie from which the quote was taken will be added to the “trivia” leaders board. The board shall be updated weekly….
The Quotes:
1. “I’m your huckleberry!”
2. “You’ve been mostly dead all day”
3. “Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy night”
4. “There's no crying in baseball!”
5. “These aren't the droids you're looking for”
PS – I’m still taking Trivia Questions for use in our friendly WICOU!

3. Wilderness First AID: June 27/28th Bobbie Foster is hosting a WFA class at Hanna Boys Center for ICO. This is a 3-yr certification which is great to have both for ICO and anytime you are out in the wilderness. The Sign up Deadline is May 25th. You can sign up on our ICO Trips Page. Cost is $100 for the class, but if you sign up for this one, ICO will be subsidizing our volunteers so the cost is only $60. Please contact Natasha to sign up.
4. New Group: The KIPP Heartwood Middle School w/ San Jose ICO has been added to the calendar. The mission of this group, the younger version of the KIPP Collegiate Academy, is to deepen in the students of East San Jose the knowledge, skills and character, and intellectual habits needed to excel in college and to make positive change every single day. The trip is scheduled forJune 13th and 14th. Chris Thorsen has stepped up to be our fearless leader. Please contact Chris or sign up on line to guide this trip.
