Hi, Everyone!

I hope this e-mail finds you all enjoying the last week or so of your summer!

The prior events I've organized throughout the spring and summer have led to me joining leadership in the Young Adult Reformed Fellowship (YARF) and continuing to organize events for this group.  What's YARF?  It's a confederation of church groups throughout the greater Baltimore area that come together to have fun, form small groups, meet new people, and engage in service activities.  We'll do a few events throughout the year, alternating between social and service activities.  All you have to do is show up, make new friends, and help people in need.  To get an idea of how YARF is used to connect people in Baltimore, go to http://www.eyarf.org/

Anyway, to kick off the fall we're going to do a scavenger hunt in the inner harbor on Saturday, September 25 at 1PM!  If you plan on coming, please let me know.  We will meet in Federal Hill Park off of Key Highway.  Of course, you are free to invite anyone you wish!  If you're currently involved in leadership with another young adult group, feel free to invite your whole group.  This is a great way for people to meet new friends and really work together to find the clues and solve the mystery.  What mystery?

The Case of the Missing Spice

The evil Lord Baltimore has stolen the secret recipe for Old Bay from McCormick and buried it somewhere in Baltimore.  Sherlock Holmes is on the trail and has discovered several clues, but he needs our help!  Do you have what it takes to solve this mystery in time and find the stolen recipe?  Be the first to gather all the clues, solve the final riddle and save Maryland's most treasured recipe from destruction!

What?  Scavenger Hunt/Race through downtown Baltimore

Where?  Federal Hill Park (Key Highway)

Teams can be formed ahead of time or at the park.

No limit to the amount of teams and we'll group up smaller teams if needs be.

Bring at least $5 in singles (this may assist you along the way).

The mystery should take about 2 hours to solve, but some detectives may take longer.

If this is your first time at YARF, you have to...(wait this isn't Fight Club) just come and have fun!

 

How to Win:

First three teams to find the stolen recipe win!

Awards will be proportional to amount of clues solved.

Let me know if you have any questions - and I hope you're all ready to help Mr. Holmes on the 25th!
