Shoal Creek Student Family Connection - Want to Help the Valentine's Dance "Double" Its Money?

Hi Families, here's your "need-to-know" info for your Buya and Crash Students:

1. Want to help our students "double" their money? A "matching" gift has been offered to our students and we need your help getting there! This past Sunday a Shoal Creeker offered a "matching" gift of up to $2000 for whatever we raise at the Shoal Creek Family Valentine's Dance on February 12th. 

Normally this event raises about $1500-$2000, so with the matching gift we could see that turn into $3000-$4000 that could be poured back into the student ministry, or scholarship funds for summer trips, or other transformational experiences! For that to happen, we could really use your family's help in one of these ways:

• Donate a gift basket, item, gift card, or service. To get to our traditional $1500 goal, we need about 40 total baskets/items donated. Right now, we only have 10 out of 40 needed to get to there. Please think about putting together a gift basket/donation and getting it to Justin Talley no later than Wednesday Feb 10th. Attached is a list of gift basket/donation ideas.
• Consider giving a monetary donation to the Dance. Each year we set up a Donations jar by the dessert bar table. Instead of waiting for that, contact Justin Talley and give financially to take advantage of this matching gift offer. Your $100 donation instantly becomes $200 that can go towards supporting the student ministries.
• Help us setup on Thursday Feb 11 from 5:30-7:30pm to make the dance as festive and fun as possible. No one is going to want to stick around if we can't color up the place a bit! Please think about RSVP'ing here to volunteer to help put up the decorations and set out the dance floor and tables. The more we have the sooner we can get it knocked out!
• Invite other families to come with you! Just having more people there will accomplish two goals:  1) having more fun!, and 2) will drive the bidding up! So please think about attending and please think about brining another family with you.

2. Are you a middle school family? Have you heard about Wyldlife yet? If not, please click here as I'm looking to take a group of Buya students to the Wyldlife launch on March 2nd and would love to have your student come with me!

3. Are you a high school family? Have you heard about Young Life yet? If not, please click here as I'm looking to take a group of Buya students to the Wyldlife launch on March 2nd and would love to have your student come with me!
