Bring a friend to CYT!!




Hey CYT Students,

On Feb. 15th we'd like you to Bring a Friend to your CYT class! We'll give you some invitations to hand to your friends.  If they visit class with you, you will each get a free snack, your friend will get a special coupon code to save $45 off our regular tuition that they can use during Spring session and you'll get 10 CYT Bucks!  

Keep watching our class blog for details!

We need your help!!

Dear CYT supporters,

We have an excellent opportunity to secure all of our wireless microphone needs for the season but we need your help.  Thanks to the generosity of 11 committed CYT supporters, we have 11 committed mics pledged so far, we just need another 7 pledges of $1000 or $85 per month to reach our goal and our Feb 1 ordering deadline.  We currently have only one complete system to meet the needs of 13 shows annually.  CYT is in desperate need of a 2nd updated system to meet the needs of our expanding program into Beaverton and to meet the needs of more challenging technical shows like The Hobbit and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as well as our spring shows and summer CCT production, Joseph! Originally we needed 20 pledges but we have been able to whittle the pricing down so that only $7,000 more is needed.

Now is a great time to give to the ministry of CYT.  I encourage you to ask friends, family and also check into your companies matching funds policies, you may be able to donate $500 and have them match the other $500.  

Please email me at justin1118@att.net or call 815-814-4349 by Feb 1 to secure your name on our Mic Campaign Office Plaque and make a huge difference in our ministry and the quality of our sound systems.

Blessings,
 
Justin Parks
