Recognition Dinner: One Last Chance for
Parishes to Get On Board
The deadline
has passed and several parishes have still
not taken the opportunity to send in the
names of those they'd like to nominate for
the inaugural
Recognition Dinner to be held
Tuesday, April 12th at Christiana Country
Club. Download a
nomination form and explanation of awards
and send it in today.
Also, if your
parish has nominated someone for an award
and you haven't reserved your tickets yet,
please do so today. A
reservation form is available online and
can be faxed to CYM. Tickets can be paid for
at the door but reservations are needed. See
you on the 12th!
Some Positive E-mails About Sports
CYM received
the following comments via email the other
day about the end of basketball season for
one particular team. It's a chance for
everyone involved in youth ministry to
celebrate the great things happening with
our young people:
"The kids had
a blast in the tournament and all of you
really went way out of your way to make them
feel welcome and special, with your kind and
enthusiastic words in announcements and
introductions. And the
all-out "March Madness" atmosphere created
by the athletic association was (in the
words of our players and fans) "Too Cool!!!"
"I know that
recently, the CYM sports program had a
couple of negative blows...I think you will
find this a refreshing change to those
negative comments...This is what CYM sports
is all about and we are very happy to be a
part of the POSITIVE side of things. It was
a great season... Our boys and coaches all
worked very hard and their improvement was
extraordinary!!! Christ the Teacher
basketball teams, may not have been always
the winning team score-wise, but if you look
at how much they'd improved since the
beginning of the season and how much heart
and soul they put into all that they did, I
think you'd agree with me that, they are all
true CHAMPIONS!!!"
"Our Son has
been playing basketball since kindergarten.
But never in his basketball years has he
learned so much or been so challenged as
this year. He thoroughly enjoyed this season
more than any other in his short career.
Last night was sort of bittersweet for
him...he loved the glorious ending, yet
hated to see it end. The whole team improved
in leaps and bounds."
"Thanks for a
wonderful season! It was such a pleasure to
be part of this great experience. The boys
got better each week thanks to their hard
work and the dedication of the coaches which
culminated in today's championship, We
especially thank the coaches for their time
and effort and for being so supportive of
the guys and the players were a delight to
watch. It's truly what sports should be
about. Our only regret is that the season is
now over. We hope to see you all soon and
thanks again!"
