For Dear Youth, Parents, and Volunteers,
I hope everyone’s 2018 has been treating them well so far. I apologize for not sending an email update sooner. This January I became a full time student as well. I am taking 5 classes at Cal State Fullerton in hopes to get my SPED teaching credential. I will do my best to keep on top of details. If you every need to know something quickly the easiest way to get in touch with me is through text.
Many of you were at the parent meeting where we signed up for camp. If you haven’t done so please finishing signing up for camp for the early bird price. We introduced Nicole Armstrong at the meeting as well. She is the new Associate Minister at AUMC. She will be working with the youth on a weekly basis. Please give her a warm welcome.
