De-brief latest events….

Lefse making….stage 1 and 2, stage one had great turn-out, almost too many, fun day but didn’t get all our orders filled, stage two replaced a hike we were going to try and do over the break, we had Ross, Ian, as college helpers, Brett, Sarah Weed, Amy Carr, and Gail Weed (parent) also helped, managed to fill almost all the orders, only have two deliveries left to make

Alma Via caroling…had five students show up, they helped with chapel and singing

Sunday school…thanks to those who helped with Christmas program

Up-coming events…

Care packages….we will need to bring items for Feb. coffeehouse…do want to divide this up between leadership team? Who is going to bring what?

-decided to make a list of suggested items and put it out to the whole group…leadership team will make sure to bring some of the items

Winter camp…Feb. 24…need to start getting sign-ups…see flyer

Ig-night….High School all-nighter…March 23…would replace March 24 scavenger event…is this ok? I’ve started planning with other youth workers….we missed this last year and some on the team said they would be interested in doing it this year

-everyone liked the idea and said we should do it…we will need to get the word out on the schedule change

Casa Pacifica…we have an opportunity to lead worship at Casa Pacifica for the kids who live there..would you be interested in helping to facilitate this?

-the consensus was that this would be a good thing to do and that some of the leadership team would be willing to help out

National Gathering…update= 24 students registered, $4,350 sent in as deposit, tickets ordered on Southwest Airlines and have put down $1,450 to hold them, need to confirm Slidell and get hotel reservations, also looking into booking some other tours during possible free time

Fundraising for National Gathering…Lefse fundraiser made $215…we need to kick in the envelope idea and start marketing it with skits, announcements etc., would like to get some people to do a testimony of what a difference donors investment makes, this could be written and spoken…also, do we want to try the parking lot sale again?...do we want to do some smaller things like car wash or valentine’s day or easter candy?...or should we just focus on envelopes, make, bake, celebrate, and easter breakfast?

-Consensus was that we should really focus on the envelope idea. The rummage sale made a lot of money and people were open to doing it, but we would need a motivated parent to take charge. Car wash might be do-able too and something fun, but would not raise a lot of money.

-decided to launch the envelope push on Feb. 12 (Sunday after Super Bowl weekend)…we need to make a display board and schedule youth to do temple talks and stand by display
