Last week, Hot Dog giveaways were held at North, South and West Vigo High Schools. Over 600 hot dogs and 80 hamburgers were handed out to students after school. That is a lot of grilling!!!! Thanks especially to Joe Gormong, Shan Smith, Jake Evans, Adam Smith, Rob Ball, Matt Larimer, Joel Lauritzen, Corey Howard, Shawn Riggs, Matt Troyer, Dusty Taylor and Aaron Sebastian for all their hard work!!!

The week of May 3-7 marked the last week of clubs for this school year in Vigo and Clay Counties.   We are thrilled to report that several clubs grew this year.   Otter Creek attendance has doubled this year, going from an average of 25 kids to an average of 55 kids each week.  Thanks to Ryan Pursch, Bethany Gisel and Jason Riggle for their leadership at Otter Creek.   Many other clubs are also thriving.  We’ll do a full report in a few weeks.

School clubs will not be meeting over the summer, but in Clay County, Mary will continue to meet with some of her students.  In Vigo County, several special events are planned.   Please email Tim if you have any questions about the summer schedule!!!

Hot Dog giveaways are a well-known event at the Vigo high schools.   If you want to see some excitement, you can follow Tim and a bunch of youth pastors around during the week of May 10-14 as they travel to North, South & West to hand out free hot dogs to students after school.  We’ll share some pictures afterwards, but you really have to be there to see the chaos and crazy hot-dog-grilling that ensues.

We plan for 200 kids at each school, but never know who we’re going to get!   This is a cooperative effort from YFC and many area churches.   Supplies we use include hot dogs, buns, ketchup, mustard, paper towels, cups, and lemonade mix.  If you would like to contribute, contact Tim or Bethany or call the office at 812-232-3781.

We’re busy preparing for the 8th Grade Graduation party on May 6th.  It will be held at Maryland Community Church after school on a (hopefully) sunny afternoon.  Kids will be bussed from the six Vigo County Middle Schools after school.  Pray that this will be a great time of fun and also connection as students have some extended time with leaders & youth pastors.   For more information, contact Tim or see the flier & permission slip.  All students who attend MUST have a signed permission slip.
