Hey Everyone! The ELF Board of Directors met up this past Sunday and joined the service at Bel Air Presbyterian! What a joy it was to come together... In attendance were:
* Trini Phan, Amy Chang, Joan Santos, Kira Hodge, Tom Caldwell, Brian Lanich, Wayne Sonoda and Chris Jahng.
Schedule is coming out fast and furious. After our 2008 Christmas Fundraiser, we have a email list in conjunction with our growing Operation FUN contacts! Look for an email newsletter to come out late January 2009! The first of our monthly communications!
We're adding several programs and events:
1. TUTORING: We'll be creating monthly tutoring days that will be combined with sun and fun so that youths can be tutored in different subjects, while having a chance to play sports, play games, connect with our adult volunteers and eat plenty of home cooked meals! Our first date will be on Saturday, March 14th as we combine with a new fundraising program!
2. GARAGE SALE FUNDRAISER: As mentioned above, we're going to combine our tutoring day with a fundraiser in the community. We'll have a garage sale out on the grass that the youths will work and serve while enhancing their education! We'll have plenty of youth activities, while selling donated items from the local community! Look for more details soon! The event will be an all day extravaganze on Saturday, March 14th in Torrance!
3. MARINE MAMMAL CENTER: We'll spend a day visiting and touring the Marine Mammal Center and visiting the location in San Pedro as well! This will be a fun day, followed by an afternoon picnic lunch out in the sun! Coming soon, with full details on a Saturday near you!
Take a sneak peak at our upcoming calendar:
* Operation FUN on Wednesday nights in Torrance! Every week! 4915 Emerald Ave in Torrance at Greater First Christian Church.
* Saturday, January 31st we're all invited to a dinner party and presentation from the Baja Mexico missionairies! We'll be having tacos and seeing the slide show and hearing about the next trip and future plans and updates from the families!
* Jr. High/Middle School Lazertag lock-in event! On Friday night, February 6th at 11pm to 7am Saturday, we're taking the youngster for an all-nighter in Torrance at Laserstorm! Food and games included in an unlimited way! $25 per youngster.
* Trip to AdventurePlex on Saturday, February 7th in Manhattan Beach. $25 per person, ages 12 and up as we take on the rope course and rock climbing wall. From 1-5pm.
Much more is on the way! Stay tuned and stay involved! Volunteers needed on an ongoing basis for each and every event!
