If you received an individual scholarship from the Y&G scholarship committee, you should have received from me a blank thank-you note at Bill Hearing Night. The completed thank-you note was due back to me this past week. You need to make arrangements to drop the completed note off at the YMCA as soon as possible.
DEADLINES:
The December payment deadline has passed for both regular and alternative payment schedules. If you have not met your obligation, you must make arrangements to do so/drop off a check at the YMCA BY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16 or risk you position in the program. Email me or call Sam Doffo at the Y if you have questions about the amount you owe. (The standard payment due was $200 by last Friday)
January 8 - Final Payment Deadline ($200)
Upcoming Events:
December 17 - NO MEETING
December 19 - Holi-Day Camp at the Y Fundraiser. So far Tucker, Jordan, Airayana, Lawrence, Maribel, Emily, Kymeshia, and Daija have signed up. Want to sign-up? Email me ASAP. If you have signed up already, your attendance is expected or a phone call is required no less than 24 hours in advance.

Ongoing Events:
Coupon books can still be sold. Sam should be receiving more at the Y today or tomorrow - including additional sales order forms. If you would like to sell more books (and you should be pushing these for the holidays), contact Sam Doffo at 916-452-9622 ext 132
Door to door sales attempts? Have you tried to sell these books to your neighbor? I would suggest that you - accompanied by your parent(s) and NEVER ON YOUR OWN - put on your best dress-code attire and practice your public speaking skills by presenting the product and talking about the program to your neighbors. Heck, you can even adopt an entirely new neighborhood if you'd like. These books won't sell themselves - you need to get out there. Be safe.
Reminders/New for the Week:
1.) I've sent out many individual updates and messages so far today. Please read all of your email and respond/act when required.
2.) Forgetfullness doesn't excuse non-payment of program fees. If you have no expressed financial need and are behind in payments, your grace period for catching up expires at the close of business on Wednesday, December 16. Get your payments in. Yes, you'll need to make a special trip to the Y if you missed last week's meeting or attended the meeting but forgot your payment.
3.) Thank you to the six (out of 15) delegates who signed up for an attended the parking lot fundraiser on Sunday, despite terrible weather and terrible results. Your dedication is noted and appreciated.
4.) See you at our next meeting on January 7. Please watch your email between now and then.
