I spoke with the Football Operations Center this afternoon and they have offered Youth Aflame alumni a special price for general admission tickets of $5.00 ($15.00 is the regular price) to attend the LU Flames vs. North Carolina Central football game on Saturday, September 12 at Williams Stadium. Game time isn't officially set yet, but it should be around 7:00 PM. This is the first home game of the season and they are expecting a great crowd.
As a reminder, anyone purchasing tickets in advance online, will save $10.00 off of your game day General Admission price of $15.00. Also, by purchasing online via the Youth Aflame site, we will know to hold your tickets for pick-up at the Registration/Reception at the Kirkley Hotel on Thursday afternoon, September 10th. Any tickets not picked up on Thursday will be returned to the ticket office and will be available for pick-up on game day. Game Day Will Call is located in the Football Operations Center Ticket Office (North Campus end of the stadium) and will open at 5:00 pm on game day.
To purchase your ticket(s) go to youthaflame.org and click on "CLICK HERE to buy tickets online".

Dear YA,
Some things have come to my mind which prompt me to send one more note. I want to strongly emphasize that the YA reunion is not about Gordon Luff. I may have been the starter but the success of YA thru the years is a result of every one of you people. I have been reading the Bios and appreciate them more then you know. To know that you had any influence on anyone is a blessing. However I have recieved comments on how so many others influenced many of you. Dennis Henderson, Roscoe Brewer, Vernon Brewer, Larry Coclasure, Tobyann Davis, Dave Adams, Jim Sanders, Joe Hale and I could go on and on. The point being that any honor I deserve must be spread out far. You have honored me more than enough by what you have accomplished. That is why the bios are crucial so that we can all know what you have done. We all started a movement that must go on and is going on right now all over the world. The purpose of this gathering is not to honor any one individual but for all of us to reunite and see what we can do together in the future. We cannot do that if you're not there, so please register today.
Sincerely,
Gordon

To All YA Alumni:
This will probably be my last contact with all of you before we meet in Lynchburg so I thought I would address a couple of issues.
The registration fee for the Reunion covers the Banquet, BBQ lunch and bus transportation. Because of the traffic and lack of parking on the mountain, we will be using buses to get us to our destinations. The fee also covers being part of the Reunion - the fellowship, sitting around visiting, catching up with old friends, etc. If something's worth doing, it's worth doing right and we're doing this Reunion in a first class fashion. Sheila has been working for two years to make this happen and I appreciate more than words can express what she has done. Please do not let money hinder your meeting old friends but we have to plan to do it right.
Secondly, I know there has been some talk about giving us a gift. You can just get me a new "Get All Excited" New Testament. The one you gave me in 1973 is falling apart. Any left over money will be used to start our YA missions fund. I know that the economic crisis has hurt some of you and I pray that God will see you through.
Please send in your BIOS and REGISTER soon. The DEADLINE for registration is August 1st! You can contact Sheila at larrysheila@sbcglobal.net if you need information.
Let's stay in touch.
We love you all!!!
Dottie and Gordon Luff
