August St. Paul's YAMs Dinner

Friends,

You've asked for it, you've got it - the St. Paul's YAMs are eating dinner and hearing a speaker!

On Saturday, August 1st, at 6 p.m., the YAMs will attend a dinner in Key-Andrews Hall. During the dinner, quest speaker Becky Welchel - director Episcopal Metropolitan Ministries, will talk about the ministries there. More details on the speaker are still to come. We will have some non-YAMs as guests in attendence. Especially St. Paul's volunteers from EMM. They are there to hear the speaker and to meet us. We will be there to hear the speaker and meet them - as well as for many of the other great reasons to attend a YAMs event. If you are interested in beginning a friendship with some older folks at St. Paul's, I do hope that you will be there for this most enlightening evening. Please come and hear about this great Chattanooga Ministry.

Child care will be provided, and the cost is $6. (Please do not let the cost be a limiting factor.) Please RSVP to this invitation by July 29th.

Yours in Christ,
Bob

Fall Events Suggestions

Friends,

The time has come to begin planning for the Fall season. If you are interested in doing any events that the YAMs have not yet done, please let me know. If you are not a web-searching spambot, you will be able to get my email address from the St. Paul's website's contact page here. If you are just itching to do something as a group or you have an idea about how we might improve something that we have done in the past, please let me know. Even if you want to say that we are doing a good job, let me know that too.

Yours in Christ,
Bob

Pictures from Games Party

Greetings friends,

Here are some pictures from the St. Paul's YAMs Summer Game Party held last Saturday. I hope that everyone who came out had a great time and ate their fill. We had tons of fun.

Enjoy!

Yours in Christ,
Bob

Boating with Cap'n Mozingo

Greetings friends,

Fellow YAM and skipper, Brandon Mozingo, has graciously offered to share his boat with the St. Paul's YAMs. On Sunday, July 12,at 2:00 PM, Brandon has opened up his heart and his boat house to us. If you are interested in boating with Brandon (and some other YAMs and friends), please contact Brandon for more information - directions and such. If you need help contacting Brandon, please contact me.

See you there!

Peace,
Bob

St. Paul's Softball Team

Friends,

St. Paul's intends to feild a softball team in the Fall. If you are at all interested, please see fellow YAM, Cliff Hightower, or email him at cliffordhightower AT gmail DOT com (this spelling is to avoid the webcrawling spambots - I hope any human beings out there can figure out how to reach him). Cliff is our contact person with the city league. We hope to have uniforms, fans, etc. But, nothing can happen until we have players. Like all things that we in the Episcopal church do, there is gender equality on our softball team too. That means, male and female YAMs are welcome to participate. As the season unfolds, you will be able to check here for the upcoming game schedule and for picture and results from past games.

Yours in Christ,
Bob

July 4th YAMs Summer Game Day

Greetings friends,

It is time for our biannual boardgame event. On Saturday, July 4th, from 2:00 to 6:30 PM, the YAMs will gather at the Leopold house for a game activity. Please bring your favorite game, or, if you dare (and are able) play one of the games from our large collection. No one need have any outside of the game knowledge to do well at any of our games. We are not really expecting anyone to be at our house for so many hours of straight gaming, but please, drop in when you can and play a game or two. We will have patriotic treats (hot dogs, chips, etc.) for eating and several gaming tables set up. Please email me if you need directions and to RSVP. The cost is FREE. We should be done in plenty of time for everyone to get to a fireworks viewing destination, if you go for that sort of thing.

Yours in Christ,
Bob
