Youth Group Rock-a-thon Mar 17-18, 2012
Posted 23 Mar, 2012

Once again Summerlea's Youth Group held a 24 hour fund-raising rock-a-thon from noon Saturday March 17 to noon Sunday March 18, 2012. In the weeks preceding the event the young folk collected sponsorship funds from the congregation and friends in the amount of almost $1000 on behalf of Dans la Rue, an organization for Montreal homeless youth. The young folks rocked two at a time in one hour shifts.

Saturday Afternoon

In the former nursery room, Jacob & Keith rock while Shaun stands by. In the parlour, Peter leads Cassandra, Michelle, Alayna & Inga in a game while they await their tours of duty.

Sunday Morning

In the parlour, Inga rocks while Michelle, Keith, Peter, Cassandra & Alayna alertly(?) watch a movie. In the former nursery room, Shaun rocks while playing a video game.

At the Sunday service, the weary rockers yawn while Shaun & Inga rock.

Michelle announces that almost $1000 was raised on behalf of Dans la Rue. Keith & Jacob take over rocking, but vacate before the sermon. In the hall after the service, the rock-a-thon over, Rafael practices for when her turn comes.

And, as we say each year, so ends another night of "rockus" living for the Summerlea Youth Group. Congratulations on collecting a healthy sum for the benefit of Dans la Rue.
