Notes from the June 13 Meeting

Thank you to everyone that was able to join us on Sunday for our Belize Missions meeting.  Here's the highlights from our meeting:
  • Reminder to all teens and parents that we need to have your signed and notarized medical and travel authorization forms into the church office by June 18.
  • If we do not have emergency contact information for you, please send that information to Ryan as soon as possible.
  • Our final contribution amount per individual should be less than $1,550 each, but may not be completely settled until we are actually in Belize.  We are still using estimates for things like final construction costs, hotel, meals, and day trips.
  • Ryan will be contacting each individual with their current contribution standing to make sure no monies have been missed.
  • Insurance has been purchased for everyone through the Nazarene Work and Witness organization.  If you will be going on the side-trip afterwards, we are asking for an additional $10 per person to cover the three extra days in Belize
  • A tentative trip and daily itinerary is available and posted on this blog.  Please be aware that dates and times are subject to change based on circumstances, i.e. weather.
  • We will have a mandatory packing party on Thursday, June 24 at 7p in the Family Life Center to divide up supplies and equipment to take down with us.
  • A suggested packing list has also been posted to this blog.  
  • We are also suggesting that everyone bring $100 cash with them for spending money.
  • Devotion journals are being made for each individual.  As part of this, we would like for everyone to take a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, fold it sideways like a booklet, and include several fun facts about yourself.  Please return these to Marc on this coming Sunday.  If you will not be in church on Sunday, can you please scan and email it back.
  • Examples of games to play with children has also been posted to the blog.
Less than two weeks until we leave for Belize.  I cant wait.....
