Y&G Bulletin #2: Sweatshirts, Money, and Leadership

PARENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE TO ATTEND THE NEXT MEETING: We need to talk about financial aid, Parents. Or there won't be any money for your kids. 

1.) Get that paperwork back, stat!  That means completed paperwork. That means you have to read the paperwork and figure out where to sign. Get it in!

2.) Financial Aid application: must be completed. Must include amount your family can pay. Must include supporting documentation. Include a letter of explanation if you think your documents don't tell the whole story.  If you turn in incomplete paperwork you will not be considered for aid.

3.)  We will have a scholarship letter-writing workshop at the next meeting. Review last week's bulletin for information on gathering the names of elected officials and other possible networking connections.  Bring pen and paper to the next meeting.

4.) PARENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND THE NEXT MEETING: We need to talk about financial aid, Parents. Or there won't be any money for your kids. Did I say this already? I might have. But really, please come. (Delegates, bring your parents).

5.) Are you going to run for a leadership position in the delegation?  I received no statements from anyone, but be ready to give your pitch on Monday.  The available offices are: Vice President, Treasurer, and Sergeant-at-Arms.

There was a question last week about whether two Sergeants-at-Arms might be necessary.  If you're running for an office, you should plan to fulfill your role and attend all meetings. So we should only need one.

6.) SWEATSHIRT DESIGN IDEAS! Due Monday. Our Sweatshirt will be navy blue and feature a hood and front-pocket.  Designs can be up to two colors (though 3, if you are clever and use the navy background as part of the design).  There can be two printing areas. Designs can be on the front or the back or both, with some technical restrictions we'll address if necessary.  Here are some examples of past years' shirts:

7.)  Please Be On Time. Tardy-fees are in effect!

8.) Bring Bill Ideas!  Bring freshmen and sophomores, too!
