Starting on Sunday, April 1 you can browse the items up for bid in this years Bethlehem Youth Silent Auction: Masquerade Ball.  We have received some really great donations this year and new surprises are coming in daily.  Check back soon to learn about the generous companies and individuals that have donated to this year's event.

been a while

Wow, how long has it been since this blog has been updated?!  Did we really take the entire year of 2011 off?!  OK, so the reality has set in that a blog is not the best way to communicate with youth.  Exhibit A: free iPod gift cards were going to be given to the first person that could name the children in a very active family in our church, and no one responded!  That was like asking "how many ears do you have?" 

Anyway, we're not doing away with the blog!  It is going to play a very important role in our fundraising efforts this year.  Right here on the BYG Blog, the items for our 3rd Annual Silent Auction & Dinner will be posted and open for early bidding.  Check back soon for more information about the auction. 

Weekend...

I don't know about you guys but I am so excited that it is the weekend.  This week has been a weird one for me, and I am ready to relax, watch some football, and eat some good food.  I guess this could be considered a practice for Thanksgiving.  (well minus most of that food).  Anyways.  I hope that everyone is coming up with creative ideas for the new contest. 

A reminder that if you are planning on going on the summer trips, talk to your parents because the first deadline is coming up soon.  (I believe that free t-shirts are included if you sign up now).  I hope that you guys will consider going.  It looks like a great time.

Also Sunday night youth at the youth house.  Normal time. 

Have a great weekend.  It should be beautiful weather!

~until later
