In keeping with being wise stewards with our finances it became very apparent that we needed to reduce our expenses in transporting all of our supplies out to Wisconsin. Prayers have been answered and we have been given the opportunity to purchase a new, enclosed 20’ trailer at dealers cost: $4000.00 By purchasing this trailer we will realize a savings of over $3000.00 and will then own a trailer that will meet this growing clubs needs for years to come. We need to raise the $4000.00 by the first of April. THIS IS TRULY AN EXAMPLE OF FAITH ON FIRE!!! If you would be willing to contribute to this worth while cause we would be truly grateful.

We are pleased to announce that we have 103 Pathfinders, Staff, and family members registered to attend the World Wide Camporee in Osh Kosh, Wisconsin. Many will be leaving by plane and some via the highway this coming August. The conference runs from the 9th through the 15th. We have been working hard to achieve this incredible goal. Here is an update as to our progress. Goal: $66,000.00 We really appreciate the support and prayers that all of you so generously give for this Pathfinder club. We have taken on a tremendous task here and are asking for your continued support as we come into the final stretch in meeting our goals.

Pathfinders has taken this mission very seriously and it has become a personal goal to increase our efforts each year. This year we collected over 15,000 nonperishable food items. We had the club out in full force in late October and early November and in the course of 2 days were able to stock the shelves of the Community Service Center. This food is continuing to feed the hungry and by the time it runs out in May it will have fed greater than 2800 people. We would love to double our efforts this year and stock the shelves for the entire year! It takes 4 young people and 2 drivers for each route we cover, last year that was 15 routes of approximately 150 homes each, we would need another 90 - 100 participants to reach the goal of 30 routes. If any students would be willing to join our efforts this will go directly towards your community service hours and we guarantee you’ll have fun and be truly blessed as well! We will also need drivers and people willing to sort and box the food. We have an amazing time!! Please consider joining in. We also thank all those who have already participated in this awesome event!! |

We have been pleased to present the young ladies living in the Drake House, just next door to the church, with gift baskets each Christmas. We have put together a complete bath set, using a nice towel as wrapping paper, for each girl in residence, generally 25 -28 girls. We have also, through donations from a company that manufactures sweaters, given them lovely new sweaters each year. Sadly, the Drake House was recently closed and we will be looking for a new project to take on for the Christmas Season. |

This is a special event that occurs each spring in beautiful Yosemite. Anyone in the club, 13 and over, is eligible to attend. It is usually a highlight of the year. We camp, sometimes in the rain and even snow! The teens meet with other clubs for worship, campfire time, hiking, and of course rock climbing. This is a time for true Christian fellowship in God’s great outdoors. This year we have already reserved 10 campsites and expect approximately 60 to attend. We leave on Thursday, April 29th and return Sunday May 2nd. Please keep us in your prayers. |
