Veritas Details

With only about a week to go before we depart from Veritas, I wanted to get you an update on travel specifics. This is all I have at this point, so if you're needing more info, you might scroll down to previous Veritas entries and see if your questions are answered there. Otherwise, always feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email, and I'll help however I can!

We will leave from the church on Friday the 26th at 3:30 pm. Jason will be at the church about 10 minutes before then, so if you're an "eager beaver" and want to get your stuff loaded, he'll be there to help.

*****If you need a ride from the school or your house, etc., please don't hesitate to ask. We are only taking 8 youth, so we are really flexible about picking kids up as needed. Give me a call (785-826-7024) or drop me an email (aedgar @ uark.edu) to make arrangements.*****

Here is the schedule for the weekend:

You might make sure you have cell phone communication available with your youth in case the arrival time shifts slightly. If the youth doesn't have a cell phone, they are welcome to use mine, but make sure they have a number where they can reach you. Otherwise, plan to be at the church to pick them up at 4:00!

As you can see, this is going to be a really long weekend!!! Please make sure your youth has plenty of rest in the week leading up to our departure -- many of them are probably not used to midnight bedtimes (I know I'm not!!!), so as much sleep as possible on previous nights would be really helpful. Hopefully everyone can head home Sunday afternoon for a day of rest before school starts again.
