Please also bring your photo release form to this meeting.

NCYC NEWS: There will be a NCYC meeting between the Masses Sun. Jan. 23. Some of the youth and adults will not be here because of attending the March For Life in D.C. but EVERYONE ELSE--youth and parents please attend. We will begin accepting everyone's $100 deposit for the trip at this meeting. This will be your commitment to the trip and give us an idea of the exact number planning to attend. The Diocese has not given the date the deposit will be due to them so if something comes up for you between now and the date the Diocese requires a deposit it could be refunded. From the last email Donna received from the Diocese it looks like the cost of the trip will not be as expensive as we had guessed. There was a schedule mix-up for the KofC/NCYC steak dinner. It will NOT be Feb. 12. Hopefully it can be rescheduled before Lent.

Because of limited seating on the van, only students who have contracted for bus services may ride. This means that if a child who normally rides the bus invites a friend over, the parent must make other arrangements for pick-up. Permission may be granted by request in the case of extenuating circumstances – and in this case the parent would need to speak with Mrs. Trachsel.

Box Tops for Education: We received $210.80 for the Box Tops for Education campaign. Thanks to all who clip those box tops - we receive 10 cents each for them, and if you pay attention, you really can collect them pretty quickly because they are on so many of the groceries you may be buying. Thanks to Jeanne & girls for taking care of this campaign!
