<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dear YMYW Leaders, Bishops, Ma's and Pa's,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This email is to provide some important information regarding transportation to/from Trek. We hope that this will help avoid the potential of last minute panic to find drivers to take youth to the Trek.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As indicated on the Ward Transportation Sign-Up Sheet previously distributed to YMYW leaders in each ward (attached to this email), each ward/branch is responsible for transporting their youth and their gear to and from the Trek. Also indicated is the following:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">IMPORTANT: Trek Ma’s and Pa’s <u>MUST NOT</u> be used to take youth to Trek as they will be meeting at a separate location and time that morning. </span></i></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Trek Ma’s and Pa’s <u>MAY</u> be used to take youth home from Trek, if they are willing and able to do so. </span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The reason for this is that, unlike the last Trek, the route will not be a loop. The Trek starting point and ending point are 12 miles apart, and we want to have the Ma and Pa vehicles parked near the base camp and end point. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The above information was provided at the first Ma's and Pa's Training meeting, however, not all Ma's and Pa's were able to attend, so they may not have been aware of this, and may have already signed up to help transport youth to Trek. We are in the process on contacting all Ma's and Pa's personally to make sure they are aware of this, and will provide this info at Saturday's Ma and Pa Training. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>If any Ma's and Pa's have signed up to transport youth TO Trek, you will need to find other drivers to replace them.</u> In addition, we have asked Ma's and Pa's to have their Trek family gear transported directly to the Trek starting point with the youth's gear. We ask for your cooperation in assisting the Ma's and Pa's with transporting this gear. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have any questions or concerns regarding Trek transportation, please contact Cathy or Jim Mortensen (Cabezon Ward):</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">It has come to our attention that there is some confusion regarding appropriate footwear for the pioneer trek. To clarify, would you please pass the following information on to the families of those who will be participating in the trek.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px;">Appropriate footwear for the pioneer trek includes hiking books or athletic/tennis shoes. Shoes may have mesh. It is not advisable to purchase new shoes for the trek unless adequate time has been spent to break them in. Shoes that fit well, are comfortable, and provide good support will be sufficient. In addition, those youth (priests and laurels) and adults who will be members of the vanguard company will need a pair of shoes suitable for water. No other trek participants are required to bring water shoes. With any further questions you are welcome to contact Sis. Darlene Rounsville, 771-1467.</span></span><br />
