A blessed Advent to all our friends! We set an immediate goal of raising $120 in order to submit our paperwork and fees to become a 501c3 non-profit charity. Thanks to our beloved and generous friends and alumni, we received $75 last week! THANK YOU! We are still $45 shy of meeting our goal and we cannot submit the paperwork until we have the whole $850 fee. If you can give–even $5 or $10–please send your check to:

YSP Foundation, Inc.
4240 Castleman, 3rd Floor
St Louis, MO 63110

Donations are TAX-DEDUCTIBLE! Thank you for giving!

Also, we know this is a wonderful time of year to share your gifts with the community–making merry and showing Christ’s charity and love to neighbors. Consider hosting a Caroling Christmas-Gram fundraiser in your neighborhood. Remember what Buddy the Elf says: the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

Finally, sometime over Christmas break we hope to move our YSP assets (prop, costumes, set pieces) from the Shrine’s Pole Barn to their new home in the Luetkenhaus Barn. If you can help out on either the loading or unloading process (or both!), please check back for the date and time. Loading will take place in Belleville, IL and unloading will take place in Moscow Mills, MO. Thank you!

Happy Holidays and Christ’s blessings this Advent!
