From kmav at icx.net Mon Sep 4 20:21:34 2000 From: kmav at icx.net (Kathleen H. Mavournin) Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 20:21:34 -0400 Subject: [saymaListserv] Southern Appalachian Young Friends Message-ID: <39B43C8E.B7F7CDAE@icx.net> WHO CAN JOIN SAYF Young Friends who have turned 12 in the past year (before 9/1/00) or who have recently moved into our Yearly Meeting are welcome into the Southern Appalachian Young Friends (SAYF) program. Young Friends graduate from SAYF at the SAYMA Yearly Meeting following graduation from high school or when they pass their 20th birthday. GETTING INFORMATION ABOUT SAYF RETREATS The next SAYF Retreat will be held at Penn Center on the Carolina coast on Tenth Month 13-15. Information about this retreat and downloadable registration and medical release forms will shortly be available at the SAYMA web site, www.sayma.org. If you would like to be added to the list to receive information about future retreats through the mail, send the Young Friend's name, mailing address and phone number to Tim Lamm at tlamm at kih.net. CHANGE IN REGISTRATION PROCEDURES Beginning with the Penn Center retreat, it will be necessary to mail in the registration form and medical release form in advance to the Retreat Facilitator. While there will be procedures in place to deal with last minute changes in plans or Young Friends who arrive without pre-registration, they will result in delays before the teen can join the retreat, so please do your best to get the forms mailed in. In addition, it will be necessary for Young Friends riding to retreats with SAYF FAPs or FADs to have signed medical release forms along with them in the vehicle. Meetings that routinely send groups of Young Friends to SAYF retreats are encouraged to create and keep files of medical release forms for those teens so that they do not have to be generated repeatedly. Please make this information available to Young Friends in your meetings and worship groups.

If you are really concerned about funding for NPR (it is always a concern) an internet list will not influence that significantly one way or the other. However if all the people who signed this e-mail sent a handwritten letter to their congressman/senator. NPR would be given much more of the clout that it so justly deserves.
