Memorial Day Retreat Cancelled

Hello Young Adults!

It is with regret that we send out this email regarding the Young Adult Retreat on May 24-26th at the Spokane Valley Community of Christ. Due to a lack of interest, we have decided to 'extinguish the fire' and cancel the retreat.

We appreciate the few who had sent us their registration and will return the money. Since we did not hear from enough people expressing a committed interest in attending, we didn't know how much food and materials to buy for a successful weekend. We also realize the distance that many would have to travel, and with gasoline prices as high as they are as well as this being the first holiday weekend of the summer, we understand that people might have made other plans.

Have a safe and wonderful Memorial Day weekend. We hope to see you at the annual Young Adult Retreat at Samish Island, Washington in September, in which the Young Adult Coordinator for the World Church, Erica Blevins Nye, will be attending.

Peace,

Vanessa Grace and Nicholas Carroll
