Leader's Training, KFC stuff, and Pre-Conference News!

Hello everybody. EWWW? I have updated this thing for a while. I'm sorry for that. AND I'm sorry for the horrible amounts of details I'm going to post NOW. hahahahhahaaha. ANYWAY.

1) Leaders' Training (MANDATORY)

Mandatory, a word that means, "YOU HAVE TO BE THERE".
WHO: CLUSTER 3 Household Heads, Unit Heads, Chapter Heads
WHAT: Mandatory Leaders' Training
WHERE: St. Bernatdette RCC (21 Bayly Street East, Ajax)
WHEN: Saturday, April 28, 2007 @ 1 pm to 7:30 pm
WHY: To learn how to lead
FOOD Costs: $3.00
WHAT TO WEAR: White
SELF-REFLECTION WRITING: One page. Bring it to the training. (We'll call you.)
All leaders are asked to reflect on their current service, and create a letter to self about themselves, their aspirations, and goals in life. This will hopefully help open your heart and mind to the talks and sharers.
2) Now, for a message from your KFC Program Leaders, Kevin and Trina...
"Hey guys!

Kudos to you guys and your hardwork during last weekend's Precon! We truly showed fearlessness in our service to God! And I pray that you guys continue to serve with a fearless heart in your service! Well I just wanted to inform you guys on our KFC Envirokids Field Trip this coming Saturday. If you guys aren't doing anything...feel free to check out what we do in KFC! Here are the details..."

WHO: ANYONE AND EVERYONE! (But, mostly for the kids, lol)
WHAT: KFC Envirokids Field Trip
WHERE: McCowan Park
WHEN: Saturday, April 28, 2007 @ 9am - 12:30pm
WHY: We're going to be planting trees to do our part as a KFC Community in being good stewards of the Earth!

DIRECTIONS (plus a map!):
- Take Highway 401
- Exit McCowan South
- Keep going South (pass Lawrence Ave.)
- McCowan Rd. becomes Danforth Rd, so before that road, there is an intersection called Furlong Ct. & McCowan, turn East (on McCowan) and keep heading straight.
The road ends at the actual park).
