Study Tip: This next week will be a tough one for studying.  Thursday is Thanksgiving (and families will spend Monday thru Wednesday preparing), then Black Friday and Cyber-Saturday.  How can you possibly find a minute to review for Bible Quizzing?  Here's a tip - we have time when we MAKE time.  This next week (and the whole December when you'll be surrounded by Christmas craziness) set aside 30 minutes each day for review.  It can be first thing, last thing, lunchtime, break time - whatever - but do it the same way, every day.  And if you miss a day, don't sweat it.  Just pick it up again the next day.

Upcoming Events:
- January 10:  Quiz Team Christmas Party in Monroe, CT
- January 25:  Midwinter Quiz Meet in Sparta, NJ

Study Tip: Did you know that memories can be linked to aid in recall? Consider doing your studying to a specific piece of music (without lyrics). Then, when you need to recall the chapter for studying, humming the music may bring back the chapter to mind. Some even find that associating other keys, such as smells, can help their recall for difficult passages of scripture.
