			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-2578" href="http://www.agapefest.com/news/thank-you-2/attachment/agapestageannouncement/"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2578" title="agapestageannouncement" src="http://www.agapefest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/agapestageannouncement-120x120.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a>Greetings Friends,</p>
<p>I want to start by thanking all of you that have supported AgapeFest over the past few years with your prayers and hard earned money. We would not be able to pull this event off year after year if we didn’t have support from the best and most loyal fans in the Christian music industry so, I thank you!</p>
<p>Each year, hundreds of college students volunteer in order to make this festival happen. They all do this on top of classes, homework, clubs, friends, and all other things that college students do. Every student that served on my staff this year did that selflessly and they all took on a servant’s heart. I might have been the face that everyone got to see on stage but the people wearing shirts that said “Event Staff”, “Security”, and “Volunteer” are the ones that deserve all of the credit. I was blessed to be the leader of an amazing staff this year that just blew me away. Luckily many of them plan to return next year to make an even better 2012 staff!</p>
<p>The crew for AgapeFest 2012 is already starting to take shape. We have had meetings to discuss this past year and next year and I have officially handed off the torch. I have left the festival in good hands and think that the leaders of next year will take the festival to an even higher level!</p>
<p>Please continue to support AgapeFest in future years. They may not be able to book your favorite band every year but AgapeFest will always be a ministry and never a for-profit venture.</p>
<p>Thank you so much everyone. You all will always hold a special place in my heart as AgapeFest 2011.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you, Goodnight,</p>
<p>Chris Emanuel</p>
<p>AgapeFest 2011 &#8211; Director</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
