May11-Macomb News





















Wow - we are just having a blast at YFC Macomb! We continue to pack the place with Pizza Lunch - and May 27th is our last one for the school year. We will, however, be offering $2.00 lunches during finals week (the menu is planned to be BBQ, but will default to tacos and/or Mac & Cheese if the weather is not cooperative.) There will not be lunch served on the last day of school.

Fifth graders are now eligible to join Tuesday night Campus Life Club… the 8th graders will upgrade (promote) at the start of school.

The Campus Life Dance for Japan Danceathon raised $350 for the Red Cross to aid in this disaster!

The First (in recent years) Annual YFC Yard Sale was a huge success! We earned about $850 and donate many clothes and items to The Crossing Thrift Store (the funds raised there go to local benevolence efforts).

We are running our 6 week program, through June 9, for high school seniors called College Ready, helping incoming freshmen “navigate the college maze, recognize the key areas where they'll need to succeed, and craft their own plan and personal vision”. A repeat of the program will be offered in a one-day session in August. More details to follow.

Watch for the Macomb campus students at Heritage Days - we will be sporting brown tee-shirts, with a wi-fi-like cross, reading Youth for Christ: Connect to Jesus. We will be marching in the Heritage Days parade and hosting Minute to Win It Games in the park. Come try a few.

Wish List: As our numbers continue to increase and the weather improves, we continue to be in need of patio/lawn furniture. Any contributions would be greatly appreciated. Also, we have several students that would love to go to camp, but are unable to do so. If you would be interested in providing a scholarship, please contact Lauren at 252 0404.
