First of all, I want to thank Rick and his whole family for this fantastic BBQ that we enjoyed this afternoon.  Despite the confusion (sorry!), we got 119 orders through in about 45 minutes.  There was a lot of behind the scenes work that made this fundraiser a success.

Our target for this fundraiser was $1000.  This was to cover the congregation’s portion of the expenses for the teen’s Fall Retreat at Mt. Lebanon in mid-October.  We raised $1729.50 in sales and donations.  God has truely blessed us today.

The remainder of this fundraiser ($729.50) will be applied to the mission trip we plan on taking this next summer.  The collection plate is our primary source of funding, but these fundraisers allow us to continue hosting the best youth program possible despite our ups and downs.

Thank you for making this Fall Retreat possible.

God bless,
Cameron King.

Rick has graciously offered to prepare tasty food for us as a fundraiser for the youth.  We are raising money to go on our Fall Retreat, this October from the 9th to the 11th.  We are trying to raise $1000 in order to reduce the cost per teen to only $50.  This money will also go to cover the fees for visitors that may be attending as well.

Please consider grabbing a take-out place on September 20th, 2009 following morning services.   You will of course, be able to pay cash at the table, but ff you would like to fly though the express lane and pre-order online, please place your order right here at: sacocyouth.org/order.  If you’re not ready to order, but you would like to reserve a meal with special instructions (meat selection, veggies), email cameron@sacocyouth.org with your reservation.
