On Saturday February 24, the junior board of SCUPE (the Seminary Consortium for Urban Pastoral Education, www.scupe.org) hosts...
!!!!!THE AMAZING GRACE RACE!!!!!
- a team scavenger hunt around Chicago full of interesting destinations, intriguing clues, goofy tasks along the way, and a party at the end;
- proven to be more fun than mowing your lawn, doing laundry, going to the grocery store, or whatever else you would otherwise do on a winter Saturday afternoon;
- modeled on the BPS Amazing Race, but better - you'll be home for dinner;
- a chance for you to run around with your friends, family, foosball teammates, fellow volunteers, church high school or young adult group, or random people you pick out of the phone book;
- and a fundraiser for SCUPE.
How great, huh?
Basic details are this: 1) let me know you're interested - we need to keep it to a manageable size, so early RSVPs are good. 2) form a team of 3-5 people. 3) block out noon-5 pm on Feb. 24 on your calendar. 4) scrounge together the $100 donation/registrati on fee for your team. (you can do it - my friend just took her loose change in to the bank yesterday, and she had $57) 5) breathlessly await the forthcoming flyer which will say all this, but make it look cool.
If you want to take part but your friends are dweebs and won't go, let me know that too, and we can try to put teams together - you can make new non-dweeb friends!
Again, #1, let me know you're interested! Thanks! : ) Mark
