Delegation Bulletin #10: The One With All The Attachments

(Note: all attachments can be found here - or in your inbox!)

Here's what you need to know for the week ahead!

Bill Hearing Night & PrepBy now, you should know that Bill Hearing Night will be held at Sacramento City Hall on Wednesday, November 6, at 6:30pm (for the public - you'll need to be there at 6!) Attached is a flyer you can print and give to your parents and leaders in your community.

Next week - October 30 - we'll have our full Bill Hearing Night practice. You should have a completed Bill Worksheet (including copies of at least two pieces of research you used) and draft bill language. If you need help with either of those - contact an advisor ASAP! We will review our committee procedure for November 6 as well. Each bill group should be ready to present:
Author Sponsor Speech (this is the introduction to your bill and your initial pitch for support)
Lobbyist Speech FOR the bill
Lobbyist Speech AGAINST the bill
Author Summation Speech (this is the closing speech and final pitch for your bill)

Reading test #1: First Bill Sponsor to reply that they have read this bulletin (including the answer to reading test #2, below) gets to pick the presentation slot 1, 2, or 3 for bill hearing night.

Payment DeadlineNovember 6 is also a $260 payment deadline. Feel free to bring this on Oct 30, if you can, so that you don't forget with the rush of Bill Hearing Night Prep.

Sac AttireThe ML/C Dress Code is attached. Read it. Ask Questions. You'll be expected to attend the full Bill Hearing Night dressed appropriately.

Letter of support/Excused Absence TemplateAttached is a letter of program support from Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and a sample excused absence letter that can and should be customized for those of you missing school to attend conferences (check your school calendars). Don't bring this to me. This is for you and your school, if necessary.
