o Sign up at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15lBfdXuphoruZexkgqiChl7Yv1jlK WV9oqeDo8GAKsM/edit?usp=sharing KC decision o Our Knights of Columbus Council will be having their own breakfast in April.

Fire & Ice Retreat Planning Committee  Terry Wright will be taking the spiritual lead position.  The retreat is Friday, April 29th-Sunday, May 1st.  Registration forms are available now.  We are sticking with the same format for the retreat that was presented at our October 2015 meeting.  We are hopeful that we’ll have enough leaders, chaperones and participants to have this event actually happen.  Our Core Team includes Kristi, Curt, Joan, Terry and Annamarie. o The first meeting for the Core Team is Wednesday, March 2nd at 8 p.m. in the Youth Room.  We are looking for small group leaders to offer their time. They do not have to stay overnight.  We are also looking for leaders/chaperones who are willing to stay overnight.  A big concern is the need for leaders who are experienced in charismatic healing/praying over people. These people were suggested: o Jim Cannon o Koinonia participants/leaders o Mike Donnelly o Fr. Andrew Dickinson/SDSU Healing Group o Tim & Julie Dickes o Bruce & Kathy Halma o Deacon John Devlin (St. Michael Parish) o Fr. Ed Pierce  We need to make a BIG push for students to attend this event. It will count as a 2017 Confirmation retreat. T-shirts  We’re looking into various pricing options.  We’ll have an idea at our March Youth Council meeting.
