Groups, Get-a-way and Candy

Family Group

Family group for the teens is one of those things that has evolved over the years in an attempt to get as many people as possible to be able to participate.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an exact formula that makes it easy for everyone and I realize that for a portion of you, this poses issues of being in a separate family group yourself and also allowing your teen to be a part of UY family group. Soooo, Im not about to hit you with some grand solution but I did want to lay out where we have landed for this year and invite you to jump in where you want or can.  

• 1st and 3rd Sundays will be held in someone’s home where we will share a meal together and simply hang out starting at 6:00pm.  All teens and all parents are welcome to come. The Boykin family group will coordinate the meal for this.  If you aren’t in that family group and want to pitch in on some level for the meal, let me know and we can get you in the loop.

• 2nd and 4th Sundays will be a discussion night at the building. No meal provided and will start at 6:00pm and last for about an hour.  If you need to drop your kid off earlier and pick them up later because you as parents are going to a family group, I will be at the building by 5:30 and will stay as late as needed. The Boykin family group will also meet at the building at the same time.

In summary: Our Family group situation isn’t perfect… jump in where you can or want to… Celebrate the times we do have together!
