The date of our lock-in at St. Patrick's is scheduled for May 14th-15th, 2010. More details will be published as we move through the youth year. These minutes are meant to get dates on all deanery parishes calendars to avoid scheduling conflicts. I will keep all involved up-to-date with information.
The agreed upon age group of the Eastern Erie Deanery Youth (EEDY) is to be those in grades 5 thru 8 grade. Any kids older than this are welcome to attend also, but the main focus is 5-8 grades. As always, all parents can be involved if they so choose.
On 12/20/2009 we are invited along with a group from Calvary Episcopal Church, Williamsville to go caroling at the Erie County Home. (I attended last year and it was fun.).
Those in attendance were Karen Walczak, Giselle Jackman -Trinity
Andrea Brown, Charlotte Snead, Vicki Zust+ -St. Paul's

Yours in Christ,
Deacon Dan+
