Details of Youth CROP Walk Participation--Sunday, Oct. 9th

Hi, folks, I'm Kelly Hulander, and Mike Morrissey and I are coordinating
Mac-Plymouth participation in this year's CROP Hunger Walk.

CROP Hunger walks raise money to help fight hunger in the U.S.
and all over the world. The Church World Service, the highly-rated
non-profit agency that sponsors the walks, uses the money raised both to meet
immediate hunger needs and to develop projects for long-term self-sufficiency
in impoverished communities.

This year's Saint Paul CROP Hunger Walk is being held on Sunday, Oct. 9th.
The walk will also be the official Youth activity/meeting for that day.

We need to be at the starting location at 1:00 p.m. for registration;
the walk begins at 1:30 p.m. This year's walk starts at Camphor Memorial
United Methodist Church, and we will car-pool together to get everyone
there.

Here's the scoop on how to take part in this event:

For Youth:

1. If you did not sign up for the walk at the Youth Retreat, but you want to
participate, please e-mail me at kelly.hulander@gmail.com, and I will get
your name on the list.

Also, you can stop by the CROP Hunger Walk table during Social Hour
on October 2nd to pick up a pledge envelope.

2. After church on Sunday, October 9th, please meet in the Plymouth
Room. We will enjoy a free lunch sponsored by the MSJ Committee,
and we will figure out rides to the event.

For Parents:

1. Since Mission and Social Justice is kindly footing the bill for lunch
for all of the MPUC walkers on October 9th, there is no need for any
of you to cook for the Youth that day.

2. We have a fairly small adult walking team this year, so we may
need help getting all of the Youth over to the walk site and back. If
you can help with transportation, please e-mail me at kelly.hulander@gmail.com.
You are welcome to stay and walk with us, of course.

Thanks for taking part in this important event.

:) Kelly Hulander
