IMPORTANT: If you have any coupon books, or money collected from the sales of coupon books, in your possession - BRING THE BOOKS/MONEY TO THE MEETING THIS WEEK. We need to figure out where a lot of outstanding books are or else we can't get more from the company. You can take them away with you again after the meeting, but we need to know FOR SURE where they are.
Upcoming Deadlines:
December 11 - December $200 payment is due (be smart: bring it to the meeting on Dec 10)
December 11 - Bill Supplement packets due (again, be smart, if you're a bill sponsor, and bring to the Dec 10 meeting)
Various appointed leadership deadlines - see applications. Note any advisor signature requirements.
Upcoming Events:
December 7 - Big Spoon fundraiser
December 9 - alternative Big Spoon fundraiser day for at least the East Sac location
December 13 - Antique Fair parking lot fundraiser/bake sale/etc
December 19 - afternoon childcare fundraiser(? - see below)
Ongoing Events:
Coupon book sales (note reminder at the top of this bulletin)
Announcements:
We're considering organizing an afternoon of childcare at the YMCA as a fundraiser. Parents would pay a set amount for up to 4 hours of supervised activities for their kids so they can go Christmas shopping, etc. Money raised by the event would benefit those delegates who volunteer to work the event. We don't have details yet. Who is interested in helping with this? (Assume it will be an afternoon event. There are no set hours yet). We're looking at Saturday, December 19.
Reminders/News for the Week:
1.) KEEP FUNDRAISING! Coupon book sales are still going on and can through at least Bob II - maybe longer. This is money you can be earning. So go get it. Also, I sent a good number of you information on how to contact elected officials for help with sponsorships. So far, no one has shown me a draft letter.
2.) Thanks to the efforts of your advisors, we have secured an additional $500 in scholarship money. This money will ONLY be distributed to those who have a) completed the YMCA's need application (given out so many times now, I've lost count) AND b) to those who demonstrate fundraising efforts and participation in delegation meetings and events.
If you have not turned in this form yet - it is due at the December 10 meeting. NO EXCEPTIONS.
3.) Thanks for a mostly successful bill hearing night. It was great to see so many parents there and I think our other special guests were impressed by your efforts. We're almost there on getting everyone to show up for meetings on time. As far as I know, only Angelik and Joseth let Patrick or Christiana know about delays in getting to the meeting on time. Other latecomers: you need to let Patrick or Christiana know if you're going to be late.
