the $20 cost (excluding any money order fee) for the two clearances (PSP and
DPW) if the clearances have been filed by October 31, 2008 and when the
originals have been submitted to St. Peter Office. Once the clearances have been filed and
returned to the individual and then given to the Office, a check for
reimbursement will be cut up to OCTOBER 31, 2008. After October 31, 2008 it will be up to any
individual who would like to help with the Youth of the Parish to obtain their
clearances, pay for any costs involved and then submit the originals to the
Office for review and processing; St. Peter will NOT reimburse any of the cost
of applying for clearance after October 31, 2008. If you do not have a clearance you will NOT

youth until ALL originals have been turned into the office.
