Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Immaculate Conception Athletic Association (ICAA) hosts dances for 6th-8th grade students in our parish and community. Proceeds from these dances help to offset the diocesan fees for each of our parish sports teams as well as the cost of equipment and uniforms. The fee for these dances is $8, payable at the door.

Each student must have an Annual Consent, Form A, and a Code of Conduct form completed for the school year to attend ICAA dances. Please print & complete these forms and bring them to the first dance you attend this school year.

Appropriate attire is expected at ICAA dances. Jeans and sneakers are permitted. Very short shorts, dresses and skirts as well as bare shoulders or mid-sections are not permitted. Please, no hats.

2011-2012 Dance schedule (7-10 PM, ICS gym):

• September 16th
• October 21st
• November 18th
• December 16th (Holiday theme. Wear your favorite holiday colors.)
• January 20th
• February 10th
• April 20th

Chaperones and volunteers needed!

We need your help! Parents with children attending the Dances are expected to chaperone at least two dances per year.

Duties include setting up, assisting with activities, collecting money at the door, selling snacks, chaperoning, cleaning up the cafeteria and gym after the events conclude.

If you have any question or wish to sign up to help, please call Melinda DeLia 302 584 7630 or email melindadelia@msn.com.

So many people come to our Outreach food pantry. In March 2012 we gave food to 171 families, including 304 children and 383 adults.

One of our customers is a senior citizen living alone on a fixed income. She has no family members to help her, so she comes to us.

One family had to move in with another whole family just to keep from being homeless. They have 13 people sharing one apartment, and they come to us for help.

Can you help us help them?

Our pantry is in desperate need of the following items:

• mac & cheese
• baked beans
• soup
• instant potatoes
• rice a roni
• fruit
• cereal
• pasta
