Campus Kids - New Jersey

So right now I am sitting at my desk furiously burning 19 copies of a CD Mix in preparation for our upcoming Staff Assistant Retreat. While my computer hums away, I’m wondering if we ever told you about our now-famous CD Mixes.

For the past few years, whenever we have a staff retreat, we prepare a CD mix that everyone contributes one song to. The exciting part is that no one knows who contributed which song (well, I know because I make the mix but I stay quiet about it). At the retreat itself, we play the CD and everyone tries to guess whose song is playing. It’s lots of fun! Also, every CD has a theme. At the leadership retreat in January, the theme was “Songs I liked when I was a kid”. Here’s the playlist from that CD and list of the leadership team members (in a random order). See if you can guess who picked each song:

1. Steely Dan, “Reeling in the Years”                                                                     
2. Paul Simon, “I know What I Know”
3. Rolling Stones, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”
4. Mya w/Blackstreet, “Take me There”
5. Bruce Springsteen & Bob Dylan, “Forever Young”
6. The Beatles, “8 Days a Week”
7. Aretha Franklin. “Respect”
8. Modest Mouse, “The World at Large”
9. The Turtles, “Happy Together”
10. Soul Asylum, “Can’t Even Tell”
11. Spice Girls, “Wannabe”
12. Cyndi Lauper, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”
13. Jimmy Eat World, “Futures”
14. David Bowie, “Rebel, Rebel”

The other big news of the day is that the most current issue of the "Sundial" is being collated by a CK Veteran you might remember! It’s Charles Cook! Charles was a long time counselor and aquatics coordinator with us. He also attended several weekend adventures. Charles is often remembered for his love of hot dogs and for being a HUGE JETS FAN! Yep. Jets, Jets, Jets! That’s all he ever talks about.

Until next time,

Jeremy

PS. Charles is actually a Giants fan and specifically NOT a Jets fan. But it was really fun to mess with him!
