July 9-12 - CLC National Gathering
This 4-day retreat-like thing will occur in Washington D.C. There are a whole bunch of payment options depending on how long you plan to stay and which days you plan to attend. To register and for more information, click here. More on this later. We've yet to decide if CIA will attend as a youth group.
July 19 - Church Annual Picnic
We are again in charge of the picnic games. Let's make sure we have an action-packed picnic like we did last year, complete with lemonade-induced vomiting, scarred palms from wheelbarrow racing, burns and blood from the three-legged race with rough ropes, and prizes from Five Below that people wanted to buy from our prize stand.
Some ideas for games: lemonade-drinking contest, wheelbarrow race, three-legged race, hoola-hoop competition, obstacle course, tug-of-war, etc.
Please contact me (An) if you have any ideas for this year's games (especially for younger kids; they felt left out last year) and prizes, or if you'd like to help in any of the above games or prize-buying. Let's do great things.
Intense wheelbarrowing. We could take 'em.July 24-26 CIA Camping Trip
This is bound to be a highlight of our first year of existence so MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Currently, Linh is taking charge of preparing the food. All attendees will have to split the cost of food, so I would talk to Linh and make sure you like what she's planning. For the 2 nights in a random forest and 1 day of canoeing, the cost will climb to about $60. CIA will fund for a portion of the fee for active members only. The contribution from CIA will vary depending on the number of people who go.
"Outsiders" are welcome, as long as they are cool and chill with the rest of the CIA members (like Pauline and Anh Thu). Bring them to a meeting for judgement. We may need "outsiders" for a group discount. More information on this as it approaches.
That reminds me. There are a limited number of tents among our families. Go claim yours now.
