[TeenMinistry] Winterfest Fund-Raiser - We need your help!

OK Winterfest folks…we’ve hit a critical mass and will either need to rent another van OR charter a bus.  We are jumping out on faith and chartering a bus.  We need about $900 to help cover the difference in renting 4 vans and chartering a bus.  Chartering a bus will help us get there quicker AND be a lot safer than if we are driving in separate vans.

Felicia Smith has volunteered to organize a Valentines Babysitting Night on Saturday night, February 13.  WE NEED TEEN BABYSITTERS!!!  We also need a few parents to help.  The more teens we have commit to help the more kids we can take and the more money we will raise (makes sense huh? J ). 

Here are the details:

·        Saturday Night, February 13

·        5:30 PM-9:30 PM (kids will be there 6-9 but we need you there early to help set up and late to help pick up)

·        All proceeds will go to help cover the final cost for transportation.

PLEASE SIGN UP TO HELP HERE!!!

[TeenMinistry] Winterfest Details

LAST CALL FOR WINTERFEST!!!!!!!!

We have had several more who have indicated they want to go to Winterfest (as well as a couple who needed to back out) so we are trying to nail down transportation needs.  IF YOU WANT TO GO…I need you to commit by THIS SUNDAY! (SEE INFORMATION BELOW) (Tickets are running low and we will have to buy them ASAP…there were only about 800 left this afternoon and they will GO FAST!)  Even if you haven’t indicated and you would like to go – this is going to be an awesome trip   WE HAVE NEARLY 50 PEOPLE GOING!

Balances are supposed to be due THIS Sunday as well – CLICK HERE to see your Balance Due AND also to make sure you are on the list - (if you need another week or so we should be OK with that).

We are putting together a fund-raiser to try to get us to the point of being able to charter a bus.  It is much more convenient and safer.  There will be info coming out tonight about how YOU CAN HELP!  (hint:  teens keep Saturday evening, Feb 13 open)
