Hi my name is Patricia and I participated in In Our Own Backyard Interfaith camp this year. I am so thankful I got to be a part of the wonderful opportunities it had to offer. All during the camp my eyes were opened to the harsh realities of poverty in the Charlotte area , the different people that live "In Our Own Backyard" and how we can come together as one big family, just like tonight at the meeting.
I would like to say thank you to the Mecklenburg Ministries youth council's co-president's Elana and Olivia and Meara, the head of communications for making tonight's meeting successful and productive. We ate yummy food and played get to know you games with it seemed like 100 tennis balls, a beach ball and some socks rolled up like balls. Haha I hope the socks were clean. After getting to know all the awesome youth council members we talked about special events and dates coming up, we threw out some ideas on a name and a creative logo and fund raising ideas, we received information on the runnings for more whole group leadership opportunities and more. Everyone has such bright and inspiring ideas to share.
I hope to see some new faces at the next meeting next month on the second Tuesday at 6:15!
Peace!
