The members of the 2007-08 Youth Group discuss their activities for the coming with advisor Judy Cortelletti.  A very energetic group, they have plans for a multitude of events planned including service for others, fund raisers and some fun things to do.

Of course, all that thinking requires a little food.

During the past year the teens have decorated and arranged their room off the social hall.  Take a look sometime, they have done a fine job!!
