Here’s What Just Happened...
The Youth welcomed the new school year, and the new sixth graders, with activities that were full of fun ways to get to know each other better. We went to the Brunes for swimming, went go-karting, elected officers and planned activities for the upcoming year.
The Pool & Pizza Party at the Brunes was held Sunday, September 9th. This was a fun time to get together and enjoy swimming in the pool, canoeing, football and pizza as we welcomed several new faces to the group.
Then, it was time to go Go-Karting on Sunday, September 16th. We traveled to Little Turtle Go-Karts in Fort Wayne, buzzed around the track and headed to Subway for a bite. It was a fun, fast time for all, and we got to know several new Youth, too!
Officer Elections/Idea-Gathering on Sunday, September 23rd, was an exciting kickoff for the new Youth Group year! We played a couple games, elected officers and planned our fall events. The ‘07-’08 officers are: President Nathan Brune, Vice President Kodee McIntosh, Secretary Morgan Briede, Treasurer Nick Murray, Council Coordinator Brandan Bergdall.
