YOUNG ADULTS
YOUNG ADULTS
Post High school young adults interested in
gathering to plan and discuss the organization of a Post High “Group” are asked to contact
Debbie Frey at dfrey@stmatt.org
The group will begin with planning by those young adults expressing interest in this group. The group will hopefully be a place for social activities and other events planned by the group.
Suggestions so far include a cabin grouping and program for post high attending our Nawawka Retreat as well as just getting together to go bowling or out to eat.
Suggestions are welcome. If your young adult is away at college, or living in the area, please pass on Debbie’s e-mail address so we can communicate and activities can be planned. Young adults reading this article are asked to contact Debbie.
