Check Your Mail!

Seriously, is there anyone who wouldn't check their mail this close to Christmas? Anyway, the reason I want you to check your mail is because there is a good chance there will be a postcard in your mail box soon that tells you how to register your child for Winterfest - simply fill out the card, bring it back to church and put it in the pink box. If you don't receive a card in the mail, that probably means I don't have you on my mailing list. If this is the case, email me with your name and address and I'll make sure you get on it. While your at it, you may want to go ahead and sign up for the e-mail list as well.

A couple things to take note of on the Winterfest registration:

1) The price. Some of you may have picked up a flier that was out a month or two ago that said the price was $85. Unfortunately, due to the economic situation going on, we are not able to offset as much of the price as we have in the past. If paying the full registration is not a possibility, please let me know as soon as possible so we can figure out some other arrangements. It is still the policy of the Summerville Church of Christ Youth Ministry that no student will miss an event due to money.

2) Options. Last year we charged $95, which included a concert ticket. This year, I am giving the teens the option of missing the concert if they would rather have supervised free time in Gatlinburg. This year the band playing on Friday night is DecembeRadio. If your child would like to attend I can pre-order a ticket at $10 for them, but I must do it by January 5th. They will also have the option of buying tickets at Winterfest for $15. I can also pre-order T-shirts before January 5th for $10 (make sure you put the size on the registration) and they will also be $15 at the conference. Unfortunately I have no way of knowing what these T-shirts look like until February 20.
