Planning is well underway for GFA's 100-year celebration
to be held on
July 4-6, 2008. Activities
include a buckaroo breakfast, school tours, and class reunions. There
will be a memorabilia display of items representing the heritage
of the Academy as well as a "Centennial Store" where
you can purchase items honoring the heritage of GFA. On
Sunday, join an outdoor worship service at Greenleaf Friends
Church to praise God for his faithfulness to GFA since
1908 -- and to ask His blessing on the next 100 years.
In order to plan for enough room and food, we appreciate
you pre-registering and
paying for your meal(s).
We hope you will take an opportunity to print and
distribute a number of posters and
supply a copy of the bulletin
inserts to your local church. We appreciate
your efforts
in sharing the news about this wonderful Celebration with as
many people as possible. Working together, we will all
be able to Share the Vision.
