Here are some updates for the Youth Mission Trip.
There is an important fundraiser coming up on Sunday the 23rd. The task is wrapping packages at Barnes
& Noble in Highland. Sounds fun, and
will be pretty good one for money. One
shift begins that day at one PM, and the second begins at five.
We need 4 to 6 youths for this event. Please go to the Facebook Group or
communicate directly with Henry B. to sign up for this event.
So far there have been a number of fundraising events, and
with a few exceptions all of the volunteering has been done by members of the Committee. Just to remind folks, the participation in
fundraising is both critical to making the trip happen, as well as directly determines
how much a family would have to pay in June for youth to go.
The next fund raising opportunity will be at the end of January
with the baking of scones and brewing of coffee for the church’s annual meeting.
Later that evening, the 27th of January, we will
have a mandatory trip meeting that will include parents beginning at 6:00 PM. More details to follow.
John S. is hiring the coach bus this week, and the budget is
coming together. At this time the trip
expense per youth out of pocket will probably be between $200 and $250. And, of course, that assumes that the youth fully participate in fundraising. For
those who miss a bunch of the events, the cost will be quite a bit higher.
