Ok so which do you want first? The good or the bad? Ok i’ll start out with the good.
Good news: Mogul Mania was awesome - in spite of a little rain we had a great time. The water park was epic and time out on the slopes was a good all in all. I hope you guys had as much fun as i did.
Bad News: So our awesome friend Kyle came and shot all sorts of great video footage for us. Unfortunately - Our camera broke - meaning it ate our tape and won’t give it back - we can’t get the tape out!!!!!! I know - we’re completely void of all photographic or videographic (is that a word??) evidence. So. . . . I need you to send me footage of yourself skiing, or pictures from the trip - whatever you have!!!!! We will make the best video we can ok!

Mogul Mania 2010. It’s going to be legendary - We’re headed out to splash lagoon (an indoor water park) andPeak ‘n Peak. You should be getting something in the mail about it - or you can go Here and sign up. It’s January 23-24th so you’ve got plenty of time to start working on your mute grabs and backside rodeo 720’s. I pulled my skis out the other day and went with a buddy - just thinking about skiing got me excited for Mogul Mania. So invite a friend and sign up - i’ll see you there.

Hey i got some pictures back from the best night of your life. Hiram Foster captured some of the magic (he took the pictures). This one is my favorite and I need you to come up with the best caption possible for it. You miss out on the night? Adam Hoshiko hung Christmas ornaments on a sweater - it was awesome - and took home the grand prize for tackiest sweater and Komar’s boys took the architecture to the next level and made a lovely gingerbread house that won it all.
You guys made over 100 Christmas cards and bags of candy that were delivered to the good news kids at Scranton Road bible church along with coats, toys, hats gloves and all sorts of other stuff. Some kids got a new coat for the very first time in their life - which is pretty awesome that you were part of that. It was a great night and I’m really proud of how much work you put in caring for these students. I might not get to see a lot of you before Christmas but don’t go snooping around for your presents - it’s not worth it - it just spoils Christmas.
Have a merry Christmas - go sledding, drink hot chocolate, bake some cookies, spend time with your family and spend some time thanking God for all he has done for us. You don’t have to get me anything - but if you can find them i’d love some of those onesie pajamas with the feet on them (and get a pair for Marty too!).
Have the Best Christmas Ever!

The Tacky Sweater Christmas Party is almost here. Less than a week till the madness ensues. We’ll be hanging out all Tuesday night having a great time celebrating Christmas and working on a pretty sweet project. We’re working together with some other people at Parkside to help some of the students of Scranton Road Bible Church.
Events for the night include: Best Tacky Sweater Contest, Gingerbread House Competition, The Frank Komar Christmas Carol Sing Along, Christmas Cookies, and so much more.
What we need you to do is bring cards, candy, and to money to donate for a great cause. We’ll be using part of our night to make cards and make gift bags full of candy for the students. The money will go towards purchasing coats, hats, gloves and other items for kids living in downtown Cleveland. It’s a really sweet opportunity that we have as Christians to join together and care for those in need. I’m sure you can ask your parents if there are jobs that you can do in the coming week to raise money.
So wear the tackiest sweater you can find/borrow, bring the cards candy and $$, and prepare for a great time!
See you soon,
