The Sisterhood of the Traveling Summer Shorts

June 22, 20


Dear Sisterhood of the Traveling Summer Shorts,

I am both very excited for all of you yet at the same time a little saddened.  I am excited because this is going to be a very fun and memorable book for all of you.  I am a little sad because you are all growing up so quickly and becoming so much more independent.  This is the first meeting you girls are conducting without us.  Please, Please do me one HUGE favor today at your meeting.  I bet you can all guess what it is J.  Take a picture for me so you can all remember this first meeting without us. 

I know many of you have just started the book.  The purpose of this meeting today is to:  
discuss the beginning of the book,
review the Official Rules of The Summer Shorts together,
and to unveil the Official Summer Shorts of 2015

There is an envelope labeled Official Rules, and one envelope with each of your names on it.  The same thing is in each of the envelopes.  There is a copy of this letter and a copy of The Rules.  Each of you please take your envelope now.  I would like you to read The Rules together so please do not read ahead.  Once everyone has their envelope, open them together and take turns reading The Rules.  On the second page there is a place for each of you to sign.  Please sign everyone’s so you each have a copy for yourselves to keep.  The one marked Official Rules is for me.  Please all sign that one as well and return to me. 

Once The Rules have been read and signed by each of you, the shorts can be unveiled.  Again, please do this together as a group.

There are also discussion questions in your envelope.  These we can go over in August together.  I just wanted you to have them to think about.

Good Luck and Have Fun!
