RSVP for the 2012 Action conference
It is now time to officially RSVP for the 2012 Action Conference that is being held in South Bend from April 11-14. We are looking forward to this great gathering of students and adults from all our branches. The conference will begin in the evening on Wednesday April 11th, and end with Lord's day on Saturday April 14th. There will be a fee to attend the conference, which you should have received information about in your e-mail or from your action leader. The deadline to RSVP for the conference is Monday, March 5, but the sooner you can respond the easier it will be for our planning. Because of the conference costs and the time needed to arrange hospitality in South Bend, we cannot guarantee that those who RSVP after the deadline will be able to attend, so please RSVP as soon as you can. Hope to see you there!

2012 Interest Survey
2012, the tenth year of Action in its current form, is going to be an exciting year for us! We will certainly be sending teams on trips to both Indy and Allendale this summer. In addition, we are pleased to announce that in April we will be holding an all Action conference. The conference will be in South Bend from April 11-14, which is the week after Easter. Everyone in Action is invited.
As we prepare both for the conference and the summer trips, we’re trying to get an estimate of how many people might be involved in each. Whether you’re an Action student hoping to come on the conference and catch a trip this summer too or an adult who wants to help out on a trip (yes, we need you!), please take a moment to fill out this brief interest survey. The 2012 Interest Survey is now closed. Thank you to those of you who completed it.
If you are not in Action but are interested in attending the conference, please talk to your local Action division coordinator or team leader.
This survey is for planning purposes only and does not amount to a commitment to either the conference or the trips. You will be able to formally rsvp for the conference as well as apply for a trip starting sometime around the end of January. Stay tuned for more information!
Thank you for completing the survey!
Application for 2011 Spring and Summer trips now online!
It’s time to apply for an Action trip to Indy or Allendale. Last year we sent 143 students and adults on eight Action trips. We did fix it projects in Allendale, moved a house in Indy, put on a summer camp in Allendale with record high attendance, hung sheet rock, installed doors, planted gardens, and insulated a ceiling. We hope to accomplish at least as much this spring and summer,and we want to invite you to help us. Help us fix houses that are falling apart, teach children who have nothing to do, nowhere to go, and no one else to learn from, create homes for our brothers and sisters in CIM and campus division to live in, and build friendship with the neighbors with whom we want to share life in the Body of Christ.
This year we are planning six summer trips, three to Indy and three to Allendale. The dates for these trips are as follows:
Indy 1: June 6-18
Indy and Allendale 2: June 20-July 2
Indy and Allendale 3: July 11—23
Allendale 4: July 25-August 6
Please consider which dates you could be available for and apply for the trips accordingly.
You are also invited to apply for a spring break trip, from April 25-30, the week after Easter. We can’t guarantee yet that we will be able to have a spring break trip, but please go ahead and apply if you are available and interested, and we will let you know the decision on it as soon as we can. The application for spring break trips is now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied for a spring trip.
