Alumni Dispatch #9: SOS Family Alumni Reunion
HEY EVERYBODY!
Y’all, we did it! Summer staff training week, five weeks of summer camp, three weeks of SOS Builds work weeks, a week off and now we’re here with Summer 2022 in the books.
It was something really special to practice that SOS hospitality and togetherness again this summer after a season of a too-quiet SOS building. We want some more!
We’re full-hearted and so happy to invite you to the SOS Staff Alumni Reunion Friday, September 16 - Sunday, September 18.
While we’ve had an EBC Family Reunion in the works for a while now, it’s officially rebranded and expanded so that we can welcome each of you!
MAKE PLANS TO JOIN US!
An element of this summer that felt so special was the realization that God’s work through SOS is incredibly wide and so beautiful and nearly unmeasurable save the stories that we each carry. It’s you. The no-words nods when someone says that God used their time at SOS to change deep pieces of their heart and mind. The memories of homeowner partners blessing and loving team leaders and carrying them through hard days. The work that happens to hearts when invested in deep and meaningful community. Come and celebrate those things with us.
FOR A WEEKEND FULL OF SOS!
Friday, September 16 - Sunday, September 18, 2022.
$60/single alumni registration with a $40/family add-on fee.
or…
Join the EBC!
The Endless Bucket Club (EBC) starts at a minimum commitment of $5/month. A major perk of EBC memberships? The reunion is totally free of charge for EBC members (and spouse and kids). EBC Members can RSVP here.
EBC not for you? Register and pay HERE!
The fee covers lodging at SOS, meals, and activities for the weekend.
Join us as we curate a “best of SOS” weekend for those of you who love it best. Best quirks, best memories, best sights, best games, best teachings, best songs, best faces. The challenge will be ours! ...To fit a million beautiful details of the story of SOS and each of you into those few and fantastic hours we’ll have to share!
For housing and schedule details, check this blog post from last spring. We’ll be updating the schedule and sharing soon!
SOME IMPORTANT FINE PRINT:
Money, money, money…isn’t the big “why” here. It’s ensuring the on-going and future efforts of SOS are sustained by, informed by, and representative of the very best and truest of SOS: you. The alumni family of SOS is some of the sweetest fruit of the work that God has done through SOS. We want you close, connected, and invested so that SOS can count you as wise counsel as we continue to seek a mission and a vision that heralds the Kingdom of our Good, Good King.
We’ve sought to create an entry level giving requirement that we hope will allow giving from diverse budgets. Should the monthly giving requirement be a hurdle too great, please reach out. We’d rather work to eliminate or lessen the hurdle than to lose your participation entirely!
