If you appeared in our 2016 directory and would like to reuse that photo, pick up a Photo Submission Form at the Welcome Center, complete and return it with your $10 donation to the office ASAP. You may also email a photo of your own in suitable size and orientation for inclusion. Details can be found on the form, and photos must be sent to office@mystandrew.org no later than November 10. Note: Under the new LifeTouch program, we can receive updated directories for ALL past participants anytime we have at least 25 families willing to be photographed. However, submitted photos will NOT automatically appear in these updates/reprints. You will have to be photographed or pay $10 next time to be included.
