Roseville Youth Group

Bonjour mes petite croissants!

I was recently told of a youth rally taking place in the foreign land of Canada. (Where, according to Neal, they have square toilets) The rally takes place at Great Lakes Christian College in Beamsville, Ontario. This year’s theme is “Your Reborn Identity.” The speaker will be Jason Steckel from the Rochester Church of Christ and worship will be led by Watershed, who will also be giving a concert. We will be leaving the evening of Friday, April 18th and returning the evening of Sunday, April 20. The cost for the trip will be $50 plus extra for food, entertainment, etc. The cost of $50 covers all the food except dinner on Friday, lodging on campus at Great Lakes, all activities, the concert on Saturday, and transportation. Chaperones can attend the event for free.

I know this seems a little short notice for a trip to another country, but I only recently heard of the event. I am told it’s a really great event and it will give us the opportunity to make acquaintences in our neighboring country of Canada. The trip is about 3 hours, 30 minutes. According to the U. S. Department of State web site, each of us needs a U. S. Government issued photo I. D. and proof of U. S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate to travel to Canada. Those of you who have driver’s licenses will already have a photo I. D. Those who don’t will have to obtain a State I. D. I spoke with a representative from the Secretary of State who informs me that it often only takes a week to get the I. D. but one should give up to 3 weeks to obtain his or her State I. D. This means that if you don’t have one and want to go on this trip, you need to visit your local Secretary of State ASAP.

I will completely understand if no one can make it as this is short notice. However, for those who can make it, I will do everything in my power to make this trip a success. I will have to know if you are coming by Tuesday, April 1. Money ($50) is due as quickly as you can get it to me. If you have any questions, please call or e-mail me.

Canada, home of ice hockey, delicious maple syrup, and lots of beavers.
