THIRD: PRAY FOR THE CHILD WHO WILL RECEIVE THIS SPECIAL GIFT

About our name: “Engedi” is an actual place in eastern Israel which for hundreds of years has served as a refreshing oasis in the middle of the desert to weary travelers. Our hope is that you too will be refreshed by our delicious drinks as you refresh our Outreach Center with your visit.

About Café Femenino coffee beans: A new specialty coffee, Café Femenino is giving strength, unity, and hope to women in other nations around the world. Vendors selling Café Femenino beans donate a portion of their profits directly to women coffee growers to help break the cycle of abuse and poverty in third world countries. This gives them their very own money for the first time in their lives and helps provide grants to fund leadership training, education, nutrition, develop alternative income sources, and improve conditions for their families.

If you are unfamiliar with the location of the US Digital Outreach Center (also the location of our new CYT office), it is located inside the US Digital Building on 136th Avenue, north of the DMV/Winco and south of 18th Street.

You can also buy Engedi Gift Cards and whole bean or ground coffee by the pound. An order form is linked to this post. Order forms can be submitted through the Magic Box at classes and rehearsals and ordered coffee can be picked at the CYT office on October 31st.

Classes Start Tuesday ~ 9/13!

Vancouver East CYT classes start Tuesday ~ a very exciting week with auditions for our fall show on Friday! Here are some reminders for you:

Remember to bring a completed Medical Release Form to class on Tuesday. You will need another to bring with you to auditions on Friday. You can print these out from your family page on the website and then only have to sign them!

This Tuesday, kids will go directly to the Sanctuary at Lifepoint for a student meeting that will take about 30 minutes. Parents, especially new parents with students who will be auditioning, are invited to continue to stay for a Parent Meeting that will cover auditions and show requirements.

We will enter through the front doors this Tuesday. Every class day after that, students will enter through and be picked up at the back (Church Office) entrance.

I am still looking for a few parents to serve class assistants and earn a tuition (would be applied this session). Please contact me if you are interested!

I encourage you to "subscribe" to our Vancouver East Class Blog located on the Callboard on our website (http://veclassnotes.blogspot.com/) and get posts of class information sent directly to your email in box!
