Notes from meeting August 24

Hope everyone had a good summer. Here's what we discussed this past Sunday at the meeting, and what we're doing coming up:

Upcoming events:

1. The diocese is organizing a clean-up of the Seton Neumann retreat center at the top of Immaculate H.S. Its This Saturday August 30 .......... If you can come, email gdonnarummo@diobpt.org to say you are and fill out and bring the attached permission slip. This would be a great community service event for the youth group to take part in, especially since we will be using this facility for our retreat in December.

2. We need a final count of people who are going to Lake Compounce On Sunday August 31. Please Email Mrs. Barlow Hansen so we can finalize carpooling arrangements (the day will be paid for out of the youth group account so join us for a fun day to wrap up the summer)

3. Next Friday September 5 is Rosary at palace view with the Seniors 4:30 pm

4. Saturday September 13- Confirmation retreat. Several YG members are speaking- if you can come to help out and facilitate small groups (and provide witness to those about to be confirmed!) that would be great- about 12 noon until 4 pm.

5. We will be conducting a carwash fundraiser on September 28- we'll finalize this at the next couple of meetings but we need everyone's help!

Future Events (more info will come at future meetings):

1. Sunday October 5 from 6-830 pm there is a papal ralley reunion at St. Thomas Aquainas in Fairfield. We should all go to this- it looks to be a fun and interesting evening. You don't have to have gone to see the pope to come. We'll figure out carpooling arangements as the date gets closer.

2. Thursday October 23 is Confirmation- We have been asked to help with the reception

3. Rock the sound November 15

4. December 6-7 youth group retreat at the Seton Center

5. December 13- Kids Christmas party

Hope everyone has a good start of school. See you at upcoming meetings and events.
