Okay friends - Evening at the Movies is less than two weeks away! You might think "Oh, just another fundraiser" but seriously, it's pretty awesome...and this year we are stepping it UP a notch. A very "classy" Evening at the Movies is quickly approaching. Guests are invited to come in their red carpet attire, or come dressed as a favorite movie character! Of course, if dressing up is not your thing, we still want you there! There is no "dress code" required to attend.
Beyond being a fundraiser, this event is one of the only times the entire community of the JYM/AH/CP/WG collaboration comes together to celebrate and support our teens. It will be an incredible evening where we get to enjoy each others' company and meet the many people who make the JYM possible.
PLEASE invite friends, family and neighbors. We have wonderful items up for bid, including some great vacation homes!
For more details about Evening at the Movies, check out

You can bring items on Wednesday to youth group at AHUMC, or drop off at Willow Glen during the week. Please call 408-294-9796 to check if the office is open.

We need parties, sports tickets, play tickets, timeshares, gift baskets, interesting items, jewelry, gift certificates, service donations, cooking/baking/food donations. Anything you can think of we'd love to have. Please consider how you might creatively donate!
We would love more parties! If you think you would be willing to donate your time and space to host teens, adults, families, that would be great! You can set any parameters you want. 10th grade boy video game night? Parents only margarita mixer? Family fooseball tournament? Sounds good to me!
