6.) Tell Us When It's Your Moment!There's nothing that warms an advisor's heart like catching one of you doing your thing in your program area. So if you're about to present your bill, make your lobbyist pitch, give a big speech, do ANYTHING you have advanced warning about, GroupME us about it. We want to be there to cheer you on. Quietly and non-embarrassingly, we promise. Or at least we'll do our best.

Delegation Bulletin #21: T-Minus 10 . . .‏

1.) Meeting Schedule -
This week's meeting is MANDATORY for all delegates and high encouraged for parents (especially parents of new delegates). It will run from 6pm to 7:30pm We will be reviewing important information for Sac Conference. We also we have a training for the YMCA's Annual Campaign. This yearly fundraising drive benefits all YMCA programs including Youth & Government and, because we love our program and our community, we're all going to be participating in the Annual Campaign this year. All delegates will serve on a campaign team. Parents are more than welcome to join as well. I do not predict that this will be a significant demand on your time - probably an hour or two outside of the 2/5 meeting. Please arrive on time.

2.) Meeting Location - back to our usual place - the Board room at 1926 V Street.

3.) Payments -
If you still owe payments, you should know how much you owe and you should either a) be bringing your final payment this week or b) have checked-in with Christiana regarding an alternative payment schedule. Please, please, please remember your final payments.

4.) Community Service - We need to have completed 8 delegate-hours of community service by 2/13. Which is easy to do. Get it done!

5.) CONA Apps and Youth Board recommendations/notice -
