Juv Hall/ Boot Camp Christmas Parties Reports

From: Carol Climer

To: Team Leaders

Words cannot express my appreciation, gratitude, and love to each of you for the hard work you did to make this three night event a huge success. Without you, your leadership, and your team, this could not have been possible. Let me applaud you for your excellence in the way your team conducted themselves – for the great food (Hot Wings, Pizzas, In & Out Burgers, McDonalds, Tuna Sandwiches, Egg Salad Sandwiches, Nachos, Vegetables & Dip, Chips & Dip, Fruit, Cookies, Brownies, Candy, Juice, Soda etc) but most of all for the love you shared with these broken youth. Only when you get to heaven will you know the impact you made in the lives of these young people.

The staff at Juvenile Hall and Boot Camp praised our group again for the professional way these events were handled. Again you are to be proud that another year – number 34 – was completed without one negative incident!

Now for the amazing results:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Woodward Park , First Southern Reedley , and First Southern Sanger, for hosting two parties – and for LifeWay for hosting one party and helping to host the second night. Paula Aranaz and her team from Woodward Park graciously accepted the responsibility of hosting a party Monday night. We did not know about this unit until 1:30 p.m. in the afternoon.

I want to thank Cornelia Avenue for hosting a party Monday and Tuesday and hosting the party at Boot Camp (a huge undertaking). Also I am so grateful that Clovis Hills and Cornelia Avenue were willing to change units 15 minutes before the parties began on Tuesday night.

I will be sending you another email with a personal note with the prayer requests for your Pods (and Boot Camp if you attended) attached. Again let me say the handprints you left in the hearts of these young people will never be forgotten. May God bless each of you and your group abundantly.

Joy,
Carol
