Delegation Bulletin #17: Bill Boxes and Parties and no 12/18 meeting

The Holidays are here! We will *not* be meeting tonight, Wednesday, December 18, due to a high number of delegates already off on their holiday adventures. And, of course, we'll take a break for Christmas Day and New Year's Day. But never fear: there are still at least two planned meet-ups between now and the return of regular meetings on January 8. Of course, elected office candidates might want to rally the troops for sign making and planning . . . .

So here's what you need to know for the rest of 2013:

1.) Bill Boxes: We will meet at the Y&G office (2555 3rd Street, Suite 215 Sacramento CA 95818 - it's a little hard to find, it's in industrial downtown, NOT at our YMCA) at 10:00 am on Friday, December 27 to assembly bill boxes and earn our delegation $500 in grant money. It'll be fun!

2.) Holiday Alumni Mixer: On December 27, Rob and Christiana will be holding a Holiday Mixer at our house in Natomas for current and former delegates from 6-8pm. Per your request, wear your holiday best. We'll have some snacks and treats for you. Parents are welcome. The FB event is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1435522436663908/  You can either RSVP there or by emailing Christiana. Your RSVP will get you the address. Please RSVP whether you plan to attend or not so I know you received the invitation and I know for how many people we should plan. RSVPing is polite and delegates who do it will be admired forever more.

3.) Community Service: we need to do some good. Who has project ideas? Here's one event asking for volunteers we can offer to help: http://www.italiancenter.net/pdfs/Festa%20della%20Befana.pdf However, let's here what you want to do. Bring ideas to our Bill Box day for us to chat about while we file. You should know a) the organization, b) the project, c) the date/time/duration of the opportunity, and d) how many volunteers might be needed.

4.) Sac attire: Sac Conference is a mere 8 weeks away. If you're finalizing your Christmas list or hitting those after-Christmas sales, don't forget to nab some deals on professional attire so you can be stylishly in dress code for our final conference. Sac Rack: And if you're cleaning out your closets and have Sac attire that's no longer your style or doesn't fit, set it aside to bring to Bob II's Sac Rack, a clothing exchange to help ensure everyone in the program has access to dress-code compliant professional attire.  Questions about the dress code and Sac attire - hmmm, where should you go?

5.) FLIP The folks running the Female Leaders In Power group would like you to know that if you are interested in participating you can click here to let them know. Also, if you have leadership experience, you can apply to be a mentor by clicking here. If anyone has questions about the FLIP group, you can click here.

6.) Have a happy holiday season and be smart if you're celebrating. Make good choices. Your advisors love you and want you to stay safe.

Delegation Bulletin #15: Holiday Festival! Secret Santa! Fun!

1.) Volunteers STILL Needed! Parents, Delegates, Friends, Lend us your time! We're still looking for some elves to help at our Holiday Festival on December 15:  http://goo.gl/ijP1XY We need another 5 or 6 people to make sure we have coverage for the day. Don't leave us at a bare bones crew, y'all.

2.) Last week was a payment deadline for a $260 payment. If you didn't bring one, bring it to the next meeting. If you need confirmation of what you owe, let me know.

3.) FESTIVAL PROMOTION: Share the FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1417235968497714/

We need help this coming Sunday, December 8 at the Antique Fair http://sacantiquefaire.com/location/
I need 3-5 delegates to pass out flyers at the event from 7am to 11am. I know it's early. I also know it's important. Please help.
I need the same or another 3-5 delegates to walk midtown and ask businesses to display our flyer for our event. 11am-?
We have the vendors, we have Santa, we have a Food Truck, but if we don't have shoppers, we don't have an event. The goal is to make this our one, big fundraising event of the year. We need ALL of your help to ensure its success.  No one at our last meeting signed up to help this weekend. This is tremendously disappointing. Please step-up.

4.) Secret Santa! We will do our Secret Santa Gift Exchange and Holiday Campaign Sign Making Party at our December 11 meeting. Gifts can be up to $10 in value. Have fun with them! If you do not know who you are assigned to serve as Santa for, let me know ASAP. Everyone should have their assignment and the info on their person.

4a.) Our Wed, Dec 11 meeting will be half Holiday Party and half sign-making party. Delegates running for office who would like help making signs should bring all materials and a plan for sign-making. Remember to track your materials for financial reporting purposes.

5.) Bill Boxes: Once again this year we will be assisting the Y&G head office with assembling the boxes of the entire program's bills. It's not a hard job and we'll have fun hanging out. Please complete this form to let me know your availability for this project: http://doodle.com/bbs72kngnmr63xbv

(This is how I'll know you read the bulletin this week. Make your advisor happy by reading the bulletin and responding as requested!)

6.) Swim With Santa: Friday, December 13 - thank you to Maret, Jordyn, Sarina, and Calvin who have signed up to volunteer at Swim With Santa next Friday. Some more helpers would be great. Helpers are needed either from 5pm-7pm, 7pm-9pm, or for the whole event from 5-9pm. Dress code is holiday festive: wear a fun holiday sweater or your delegation sweatshirt and some dark pants. Volunteer tasks are: water elves (helping kids in the pool - requires one-piece swimsuit); photo helpers helping with Santa pictures; craft helpers; food helpers.  Please email me ASAP with your availability to help. This is a community service event for those of you who need hours.

Coming Up:
Dec 11: Elected/Appointed Leadership Applications Due - Must contact CD to notify her that your application needs approval!
