Our co-ordinator training meetings, normally scheduled for Spring,
will also be postponed. We are considering using a tape cassette
program to get information to all local co-ordinators in the meantime.
These cassettes would be prepared by various members of the Y.O.U.
team as well as by other individuals within the general headquarters
team of ministers and college instructors. These would not necessarily
be intended to replace the meetings, but merely to supplement them and
to postpone the urgency of them.
Plans for the Summer Educational Program are going along on schedule
right now. We are currently accepting applications for qualified
high school age workers to work at Orr this summer. If you have anyone
in your congregation who would be interested in working at S.E.P. this
summer, have them request a job application as soon as possible.
Camper applications will be sent out in about a month.
(We can put
off a final decision on S.E.P. until April 15 if necessary, by con
tinuing to plan for it.)
In the event that we have to cancel it, we
will let you know and will refund any deposits that have been paid
for campers.
We would strongly encourage you to continue to promote the local
programs and to continue to fulfill the requirements for local
chapters. We need your help at this time in assuring the young
people of God's Church that their program is still very much alive.
Please be sure the young people know that the program has not been
and will not be abandoned. It has proven itself to be a vital part
of the Church, and leaders are committed to a continuation of the
program.
In the meantime, those of us here at Pasadena will do our
best to continue to develop the program to a higher level of involve
�ent for all the youth. If we can assist you in any way, let us know.
Progress on the development of Y.E.S. materials is continuing on
schedule at the present time. Printing and distribution may be slowed
later for financial reasons" Hopefully, we can still meet our pro
duction schedules as we know how helpful this program can be for your
local churches.
