Reunion - IMPORTANT

This will most likely be my last email to you! Sounds funny after two years of corresponding with you. If any one has a new project for me to work on, please let me know! Think I'll be bored after the Reunion ;)

Please know that each of you attending our Reunion has been specifically prayed for by name. For safe travel, good health, that God would revive our hearts, heal old wounds (if necessary) and that we would leave Lynchburg with a renewed spirit to "Go Tell".

Many of you have asked me if Cindy Turner was coming and she IS!! She told me, "I've never watched anybody go into eternity, but it's not a scary thing"! Her heart is full of joy and gratitude as she has experienced God's hand through Doug's illness.

- Below is the revised Reunion Schedule and Who's Coming List. Good things happening! Since we have moved to a larger facility
we have room at the banquet if people still want to come.

- To you who are flying in to Lynchburg and don't have cars, arrange with someone to car pool with to events where we're not using bus
transportation.

- REGISTRATION, Thursday, September 10 - Held at the Kirkley Hotel from 3:00 - 6:00 PM. You will be picking up your registration
packet which has your nametags, tickets to the Banquet, the BBQ, and gift bags from Liberty University. This event is open to ALL
attendees, even if you're not staying at the Kirkley. Light refreshments will be served.

- For those of you who are attending the Banquet ONLY, I will meet you at the door of Room 1500 with your tickets and name tags. IF
you still need to pay for anything, you may do so at this time.

- BANQUET: The menu for the banquet is as follows:

roast beef
pasta dish
chicken marsala
roast potatoes
green beans
mixed veggies
yeast rolls
dessert assortment
coffee/tea

- Dress for Banquet - nice/dressy church clothes
Dress for Convocation (chapel at LU) - Ladies: NO capris, long pants, skirts, dresses are fine.
Dress for all other activities - casual

- If you have volunteered to help set up for the Banquet, you won't have time or transportation back to your hotel to change clothes, so
come prepared i.e. bring make-up, clothes/shoes, etc.

- I"m sitting here listening to a file sent to me by Mark Giles who has put together the Reunion CD. It's FABULOUS!! Can't wait for
you to hear it!

- Calling all CAMERAS!!!! I want to encourage EVERYONE to warm their digital cameras up, buy a new memory card, excerise that
finger that pushes the button, and pratice this phrase, "...could I please get a picture of you all together...smile big....think of
something really funny....suck in that gut....and come on, reallllly smile and say "Peaches"". We need you all to take pictures! At the
end of the Reunion we will gather all the pix and put them in a place where all YA can have access to view or print at their leisure.
Still working on the details.

- If you have family living in Lynchburg who would like to reconnect with YA'ers, please feel free to bring them to any NON-food
event.

- It's never too late to post your bio. Gordon never tires of reading them, so if you submit one I'll continue to post them.
To read others bios that have been posted (157 to date), go to: youthaflame.org, click on "read other's bios".

- To get tickets to the LU Football go to youthaflame.org, click on "click here to buy tickets" in the middle of the page. The tickets
MUST be purchased through this Liberty University website, not me.

Having the opportunity to organize and put this Reunion together has been a joy for me! Thank you, Gordon, for letting me run with it. This weekend has been bathed in prayer and I'm expecting God to show up in a might way!!

Love you all,
Sheila
