Eat well and support the youth at the same time!

November 2, 2006

You’ve got two opportunities this coming week to support your youth group while eating well!

This Sunday make plans to attend the first 2006-2007 fundraising lunch. All proceeds go to the youth group workcamp fund: previous trips have included work at the Heifer Project Ranch in Arkansas, a trip to Agua Prieta, Mexico, and work in Saint Louis. We’ve not yet decided on a 2007 location, but we’re aiming for Chicago or perhaps an area affected by Hurricane Katrina. $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children gets you two of three items from our “food-court:” American, Mexican, or Italian.

Common reasons for not attending and good retorts:

• For those of you who say “well, I’ll miss the Chiefs game!” I answer “fear not!” We’ll have it broadcast so you can cheer the Chiefs to victory over the Rams.
• For those who are saying: “I might get sick if I go hang out and break bread with all those people!” I answer: “fear not!” Flu shots are available at our flu shot clinic, conveniently scheduled for that same day.
• For those who are saying: “but I really needed some musical entertainment Sunday afternoon” I answer: “haven’t you heard! Dr. Thomas Reed is scheduled to play an organ concert at 3pm that afternoon!”

Friends, this is a great chance to relax and share lunch with your fellow church members while supporting the youth group in its mission. I hope you can join us. While you’re there, buy some homemade baked goods, get ready to rake leaves by purchasing some trash bags, or get an entertainment book (which makes a great Christmas gift!).

THEN, if that’s not enough dining goodness for you, or if you know that you can’t get over the midweek hump without a tasty burger or some delicious onion rings, then the youth have a deal for you: GO EAT AT THE RED ROBIN on 95th and METCALF on Wednesday, November 8th. But before you go: PRINT OFF THIS FLIER and give it to your server. 10% of all the proceeds from people who eat there that night and present this flier will be given to the youth group’s capital campaign fund. There is no limit to what we can get from this fundraiser: share this flier with your friends, co-workers, neighbors, relatives, anyone who you think might be hungry on November 8th.

So there you have it: two great dining opportunities; two easy ways to support your youth. The youth group thanks you!
