CHIC Information:

July 12-1, 2009.  The early bird deadline for our initial $250 deposit is January 18th.  And additional $249 will be due by April 4th at 6 PM.   This just covers your registration for CHIC, travel expenses will require additional funds.  If you are planning to attend CHIC, you must sign up at the Youth Bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall.  We need an accurate headcount so that travel and lodging arrangements can be made.  We have fundraisers to help offset costs.  Please don't let financial reasons keep your youth from attending.  Contact Dennis Pearson to discuss.

     This is a big year in the Coglan home.  With our daughter off to college as a freshman in just a few days, we will move into the empty nest stage.  The kids will still come home for summer and school vacations but for the most part there’s going to be a lot of unfamiliar silence in the home.

     I keep telling myself I won’t mind.  I’m not going to miss asking who left three empty pop cans by the computer.  I’m not going to miss wrestling with my kids to take their turns doing dishes and taking care of the dog and cleaning up their rooms.  I’m not going to miss the last-minute requests for money and the schedule juggling.  But I know I’m wrong.
