Update 14-OCT-2009: Fall Convention is still on! Register Today! It’s not too late, but since it is so close to the event please do NOT mail the form in. Just bring it with you and let SYC Secretary Heather Galasyn know you are coming (her contact info is on the registration form).

Quick Links: Registration Form (download) &  Newsletter (download) You want both.

Come join us October 16-18 2009 for a weekend of friends and fellowship at Pilgrim Lodge! This is a convention/retreat for all high school youth (grades 9-12) affiliated in some way with a church in the Maine Conference. It’s a time to get together, enjoy each other’s company and discuss issues which are meaningful to us. Attendees do not need to be a member of a church to come. Bring a friend!

If your church is not sending at least 1 youth delegate, please ask your pastor or church council why that is. It is important that there be representation from all over the state! Tell your youth group too!

It is very important that you register early this year. Due to recent financial concerns we will need to cancel the event if enough registrations are not received by September 26th. Please help us in making sure this event can happen – Put it on your calendars *now* and make arrangements with sports and work schedules so that this is a priority! (Update: Fall Convention is still on! Register Today!)

Read on for more info, the Registration Form, and the 2009 Fall Newsletter!

The cost for this event is $65.00. However, if your registration is postmarked by or otherwise received prior to September 26th then we will refund $5.00 to you at the event. The increase in cost for the event from last year is due to changes in rental fees for the facility.

*Financial Aid Is Available For Those Who Need It!* If cost is the only thing preventing you from attending PLEASE contact your church and ask for assistance. If they are not able to help you, contact one of the adult advisors of the State Youth Council Executive Committee by using the contact form on our website and they will make sure you can attend. Your message will only be viewed by an adult. We do not want the cost of this event to keep anyone from coming!

You can also RSVP for this event on Facebook, but you still need to send in your registration form ASAP!

Here is the Registration Form. Please print and mail this in as soon as possible! It is available in Portable Document Format (PDF, an online standard). You will need Adobe Reader to view it. If you are still unable to view it after installing that, please let us know.
