YWCA Event had great turnout

Last night we were at Garfield Park in Alton for the YWCA-sponsored family movie night. It turned out to be another great night under the stars! This time about 125 people came out to watch ET on the big screen, another great classic, and all the kids loved it. This crowd, deciding they wanted to arrive early for the free drinks and sub sandwiches, got to set up their chairs and blankets, eat some great food, and listen to some music before the movie started. The kids were all running around having a great time, and moms and dads were sitting and talking with their friends and neighbors. That's the best part of these Friday night events. Mom and dad are tired after a long work week, and so bringing them out to see a free movie at the park is the perfect way to give your kids something to do and lets you relax too! Not to mention, it's a cheap night out!

Thanks to Kristen and all the YWCA staff for hosting a movie night with us, we look forward to the next one with you this summer!

For those who haven't yet received one of our schedules, we will be at Evangelical again next weekend. Friday, June 27th The Alton High Class of '98 is holding a movie fundraiser. Admission to the movie itself is FREE, and all proceeds from the concession stand (popcorn, soda, and glownecklaces for $1) will go to the class! We will also be doing a 50/50 raffle, so come on out and take a chance at winning some big bucks! Oh by the way, we're showing one of everyone's all time favorites...."THE GOONIES"!!!!

For those not familiar with Evangelical, it is located at 1212 W Homer Adams Parkway in Godfrey. You go past the Godfrey Schnucks, and you'll see it on the right. You won't miss the big screen!
