The YOU Regis - (Regional Reps)
Official Rally is scheduled for April 22-24th at Unity of Phoenix. The Regis are creating a fantastic event, and I can't wait to have Official Rally in person as we celebrate our graduating YOUers!! We are also inviting the graduates from the last two years since they had their Official Rallies online. Please start reaching out to your YOU and their families; they will not want to miss this event! The cost is $250 per person, with Alhambra Foundation scholarships available up to $85.

Unity Summer Camp will run from June 20th to June 24th, with staff arriving June 19th. This year I will be offering Kids Camp grades 3-5 and Teen Camp for both Uniteens and YOU. YOU and Uniteens will share large group activities but separate when in cabins and small group lessons. It has been some time since our YOU had a Summer Camp experience, and I am hopeful that this new structure will be a success!! The cost for this week-long event is $515 per person, with Alhambra scholarships available up to $150 and regional scholarships available if needed. 

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR ALL SW REGION CHURCHES WITH YOUTH ACTIVE IN MINISTRY AND EVENTS
A new California state law to better protect young people has been instituted. So that all of our youth are protected equally throughout our region, we are beginning the process of additional training for church and youth ministry staff, fingerprinting and more extensive background checks as well as updated policies.

Please read this information and sign up to attend an informational Zoom call on Tuesday, April 5 at 11 am.
