The Letter Writing Contest: a CYT Fund Raiser was presented to students last night at classes and a packet of information was sent home with each student.

*Kids are asked to write notes, on the letters enclosed in their packets, to friends and family members who might contribute to CYT.

*Kids have two weeks (2/8) to bring in their letters with a personal note; addressed and with a postage stamp. Letters are brought to classes and logged in to give your student credit for their 10 letters.

*When ten letters are turned in students will also submit their order for the free t-shirt they choose from the form included in their packet.

*Classes that have 2/3 of the students participate will get a free pizza party the night of our Showcase (3/8).

Executive Director Job Post

Executive Position Posted

Vancouver East Class Parking

The back parking lot at Lifepoint is now open enough for parents to park as the construction modules are now all gone. This is a great drop off and pick up location. Upon entering kids can go straight to the gym to spend time with their friends before classes begin!

We will be manning the front door tonight as well as families transition to using the lot in the back.

Also, the bathrooms we are authorized to used, and that makes our clean up at the end of classes much easier, are the bathrooms in the kids wing (hallway closest to the back door) and across from the gym.

After classes, kids will be supervised at the back door as you drive in to pick them up. Our Gang parents must park and come to the Our Gang class room for pick up.

We Need Your Help...

Dear CYT supporters,

We have an excellent opportunity to secure all of our wireless microphone needs for the season but we need your help. Thanks to the generosity of 11 committed CYT supporters, we have 11 committed mics pledged so far, we just need another 7 pledges of $1000 or $85 per month to reach our goal and our Feb 1 ordering deadline. We currently have only one complete system to meet the needs of 13 shows annually. CYT is in desperate need of a 2nd updated system to meet the needs of our expanding program into Beaverton and to meet the needs of more challenging technical shows like The Hobbit and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well as our spring shows and summer CCT production, Joseph! Originally we needed 20 pledges but we have been able to whittle the pricing down so that only $7,000 more is needed.

Now is a great time to give to the ministry of CYT. I encourage you to ask friends, family and also check into your companies matching funds policies, you may be able to donate $500 and have them match the other $500.
Please email me at justin1118@att.net or call 815-814-4349 by Feb 1 to secure your name on our Mic Campaign Office Plaque and make a huge difference in our ministry and the quality of our sound systems.
Blessings,

Justin Parks
