St Joe Edge:

HELLO GUYS: 

EDGE IS A GREAT MINISTRY AND IT IS ONE THAT WE WANT TO KEEP GOING.  UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT EASY TO DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH OUR KIDS WITHOUT MONEY.  WE HAVE TRIED TO SPACE OUT THE COST FOR YOU BY SENDING OUT REGISTRATION IN MAY.   WE DO THE IN YOUR JUNIOR HIGH FACE RETREAT IN ALEXANDRIA EVERY YEAR AND IT ALWAYS IS IN OCTOBER.  USUALLY WE ARE ABLE TO USE MS GEORGETTE’S BUS BUT THE SCHOOL BOARD HAS STOPPED THIS SO WE HAVE TO HIRE A BUS WHICH COST ABOUT 4 TIMES WHAT WE HAVE PAID IN THE PAST.  THIS RETREAT IS A GREAT RETREAT AND YOUR CHILDERN WILL HAVE A SUPER TIME. OUR PROGRAM TRIES TO DO AS MUCH AS WE CAN, BUT UNFORTUNITLY EVERYTHING COST.  THE FUNDRAISER IS NOT JUST FOR IN YOUR JUNIOR HIGH FACE RETREAT. THE $30.00 IS WHAT THE CHURCH IN ALEXANDRIA CHARGES US FOR FOOD AND REGISTRATION, AND THEY WILL GET A T-SHIRT.  THE FUNDRAISER IS FOR ALL YEAR LONG TO COVER

TRANSPORTATION, EXPENSES, SUPPLIES FOR EACH NIGHT, RETREAT SUPPLIES AND OTHER EXPENSES THAT IT TAKES TO RUN THE SUPER PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE. WE USUALLY DO A CAKE SALE AND THIS YEAR WE ARE TRYING A SPAGHETTI DINNER WE NEED YOUR HELP IN SELLING 800 TICKETS TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESS.  We understand that this may be a bit much all at one time, but your childs education is important to us and we want to have the best EDGE program for them.
