Bethany Shares Her Thoughts

Dear CYT Friends and Families,

I can’t tell you how excited I am about our incoming Executive Artistic Director, Justin Parks.  Justin was the CYT National Expansion Director when our family moved from Spokane to Vancouver in 2001.  He was my coach as I laid the groundwork for CYT Vancouver.  He came to Vancouver to help lead our Interest Meeting in the Spring of 2002 and came back again in the summer to help run our first week of summer camps. 

Since then, Justin has been a source of encouragement and wisdom to me.  He is faithful to check in with me two or three times a year to see how things were going and offer advice.

As we prepare for Justin and his family to arrive (August 1^st) we have some things we need for them:

·      An economical car for Justin to use

·      A 4 bedroom home

·      Furnishings for their home

We also need a volunteer to step up and coordinate the gathering of furnishings for their home.  If you can help with any of these things, please email me (B.Larson@cytvanport.org).  Please check with people you know, or your church, about any house that might be available. 

Justin will be coming to Vancouver for a few days this month.  We’d like to invite all of you to a “State of CYT Meeting” on Tuesday, June 22^nd, 7 p.m. at First Church of God in Vancouver(park in the north/back parking lot).  You’ll get to hear Justin’s vision for CYT Vancouver/Portland and will also hear an update from our board regarding our finances. 

God has really taken care of our company over this last season, providing some amazing volunteers to help us stay viable!  Thank you for your continued support of this program and for being a part of the CYT family.
