- Some of you may know that ORB is struggling a little bit financially. For both the Young Adult Group and the High School group, the most expensive thing we do is retreats. Don't worry, we are still going to have retreats! But we need to work them a little differently in the future because we have always lost money by having people sign up for the retreat and then not go . What happens is we end up having to pay for people who don't come. So, in the future we are going to have to collect money more in advance and make sure that we have every one's money before we give the retreat centers the final numbers. So, start saving now if you would like to go on the Fall retreat, scheduled for October 10-12, 2008. If you would like us to collect 5$ from you per week and keep track of it for you, we can do things like that! ALSO, being Young Adults now, we should all try putting money aside to give away. You don't have to give to ORB, but try to give somewhere! :)
