I hope you do.  But I fear you’ve lost track of the deadlines!

In the information sheet distributed to youth and families (during the family night, separately to those who were not able to attend), January 1 was identified as the first payment due date.  If you don’t remember this information sheet, click on the link below:

2012 Senior High Work Trip – Eastern Shore

“Oh no!  We did forget! Is it too late?!?”

Nope.  Plenty of space — for you and your friends (subject to the conditions in the info sheet).  Just bring your deposits to YPC this Sunday.

Sunday 12/11 – 6:00pm – Annual Christmas Dinner
This year we are taking this show on the road, gathering at Giordano’s in Oak Brook (across from Costco). This is an opportunity to dress up a bit (yes, Paul wears a suit!), have some food and fellowship, and of course have the traditional gift exchange. $10 limit on gifts — actually valuable or totally crazy are both acceptable!

We will finish at 8:00.

Wednesday December 28 – “Older Alumni” Hang Out – time and place TBD
This is for those who are finishing college or even a few years past that. We will gather to catch up on what’s going on these days and remember times past.

New Years Eve Eve Party – Friday December 30 – evening, time TBD
High schoolers and recent alumni will get together to celebrate the coming of the new year. Stay tuned for more details!

1) Parents are invited (for the whole time)

2) We will start at 5:00 instead of 6:00.  At 5:00, we will share a meal and talk about the 2012 work trip to the Eastern Shore of Virginia.  Around 6:00, we will start our YF evening program.

See you there!

Here is the famous “Kim’s Packing List” for the work trip.  Please follow all “which bag does this go in” instructions carefully.  There are FOUR different bags to pack… If you have any questions, let me (or Kim) know.
Also, please respond with your ideal T-Shirt size.  I have this for some of you, but not all.  Assume I don’t know it for you, and respond to both of us.
Remember, we pack Friday July 29th at 7:00 PM.  Everyone needs to be there.  If you have a conflict (I have to work is not a great reason… please ask for it off), please let me know.
