2008 NATIONAL YOUTH CONFERENCE

July 20-23 — Charleston, West Virginia

Theme: It's Not About Me
He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 3:30  

There will be a $10 fee for adults to register for the 2008 National Youth Conference to attend NYC activities, including competition. Student fees have not been raised, even though expenses have increased. We are grateful that so many adults support the youth activities. Still, we are faced with the challenge of providing space to accommodate such large crowds.

We appreciate your support of the National Youth Conference. It is our desire that the conference be a premier youth event worthy of your investment. Please share ideas and recommendations. Send email to scm@randallhouse.com or call (800) 877-7030.
