Youth Fundraiser Part II: Visit The Wood Lot
The trip to The Wood Lot on June 11—the fundraiser for our youth—was a huge, fun success. However, there was a list of those who could not attend that date. The youth do not want to disappoint anyone, so a second open house and tour is scheduled for Saturday, July 9th from 1 pm-3 pm. This time, private vehicles are the way to go. Refreshments will be served again—especially the kids’ homemade cookies!
If you have not signed up, or don’t have directions, contact Andy Appel at (717) 490-0093; or email him at andyappel@epix.net. If this date still doesn’t work for you, tell Andy and he’ll try to accommodate.
All proceeds are for the youth group’s trip this July. We appreciate your generosity!
