INFLUENCE CONFERENCE // SERVE DAY INFO


This year Influence Conference is paired with Parish Proud and the William C. Schumacher Family Foundation to host an Influence Serve day on Saturday AM during our conference. We will be spreading some love to the public parks and schools in the Lafayette area. Participation requires the signature of all release portions of the registration form. We will be providing a "Lift" by painting and landscaping around these playgrounds and park equipment, so bring your work clothes. We will be serving parks and locations in Carencro, Scott, Broussard, Lafayette, and Youngsville. Your group will receive all information the week prior via email. This time will be a great time of hands-on giving back to the community and inspiring our students to be an Influence as a product of our Faith. Also, we will be giving information for you to do similar services in your communities. The Serve Day Shirt will be provided FREE the night of arrival at registration. This is the Shirt given with the sizes asked on the registration form. All other merchandise will be available for sale.
