That's right, 20th March is the official first day of spring! I'm sure you're all looking forward to packing away the winter coats, wellies and gloves and breaking out the sunglasses, shorts and flip flops!
Hopefully you've spotted a few new born lambs and have seen the daffodils breaking through the soil to say hello to the sun.
Here at Youth 2000 HQ we've got a few events to look forward to in the next few months and we hope you'll be able to join us at one or two of them.
First up is the next formation day. This will be happening at 2 Calbourne Road, Balham on 27th March. The day starts with 10am Mass at Holy Ghost, Balham. Please contact Lanie at the national office for more information (info@youth2000.org).
Next month we've got healing@healing, the retreat is taking place at St Benedict's School, Ealing. The dates for this retreat are 23rd - 25th April. The programme and parental consent forms are available on the website www.youth2000.org.
24th July is the date for the Youth 2000 Summer Fundraising Ball. The venue is Thistle Hotel, Marble Arch, London. There will be a drinks reception from 6:30pm and a three course meal will be served at 8:30pm. Ticket price is £60 per person, please send cheques for payment to the national office, with your name, email address for confirmation and whether or not you are vegitarian. More information can be found on the facebook group page under events. This event is primarily to help raise funds for the Walsingham prayer festival...
Which will be taking place 26th - 30th August. Walsingham is our biggest event of the year, held in a couple of fields at the site of the National Shrine to Our Lady. We will be expecting over 1000 young people! It's going to be great and you should definitely be there!
If you haven't already found it we've set up a fan page on facebook, simply search for Youth 2000 fans or click on the link on the right hand side of the blog. It's a great place to put photos from retreats, find friends and share your experience of Youth 2000.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact the office.
Have a great weekend!
