It was great to see so many of you on February 22nd at Bowling last week. is has become a wonder- ful GOYA tradition right a er FDF. Not only do the dancers and singers get to see each other again but those that weren’t able to attend get to hear all the stories of meeting fellow Or- thodox Youth from across our Holy Metropolis. Parents please continue to encourage your GOYAns to attend FDF, Oratorical Festival, Bible Bowl, Youth Retreats and Saint Nicholas Ranch Summer Camp as this is how lasting friendships are formed with your fellow Orthodox Christians. ank you to Renee Maude for or- ganizing bowling and dinner.
