Fall Youth Registrations ~ Our records show that there are still several Bethel Scoop registration packets for our fall programming that haven’t been turned in. All Bethel youth and parents should have received a lime green packet in The Annual Scoop in May. Extras are available in the office. We are in the middle of fall planning, so accurate numbers & information are necessary. If you haven’t already done so, please turn in your family’s registration as soon as possible; feel free to call or email Barb Farmer with any questions. Thank you for your help!
