Y&G Delegation Bulletin #12- Let's get our Con On! (That's Conference)

Wow. Bill Hearing Night was AMAZING. I am so, so proud of all of your hard work and appreciative of the many families and community members who came out to support you last night. I really can't think of a better Bill Hearing Night out of the many I've seen. You should all be proud of yourselves. A big thank you to the Bill Sponsors for stepping up to the challenge. Good job with your Sac Attire, too. I don't think I saw anyone out of dress code. This bodes well for Sac Conference in February!

Four things this week:

1.) Training & Elections Conference (Bob) I: Departure information and packing list for our first conference are attached. Note: We are NOT leaving from the Y this year. Please read the attached or you'll be left behind. Robbie will be the advisor you check in with when you arrive at White Rock Elementary. Rob and Christiana will meet you at Camp Roberts.

Don't forget to pack for two weather extremes - warm sunshine in the day, and COLD at night. You'll likely need something heavier than your delegation sweatshirt, so pack accordingly. Remember your sleeping bag and pillow! And many delegates find it comfortable to bring a twin-size fitted sheet for the bed mattresses which tend to be a little dusty (as are most things at Camp Roberts.

Attached is a draft of the schedule. Feel free to check it out. You do not need to print it as a copy will be given to you at the conference. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you bring a highlighter to mark where you need to be and when - the schedule isn't the easiest thing to follow. Also, there may be some changes between this version and the final version on Saturday.

2.) Button Sales: We'll be selling buttons this weekend to raise money for the delegation. They commemorate our last visit to Camp Roberts and celebrate our move to Fresno in January. We'll have to come up with some kind of award for whomever can sell the most! Free lunch at In-n-Out on the way back from the conference, maybe? I heard we had some excellent sales people at the Auction - let's see who can beat them with buttons. . . .

3.) Holiday Festival CHANGES: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've had to cancel our usual plans for the Holiday Festival on December 6. Instead, some of our vendors will attend Swim With Santa night on Friday, December 12 from 5-8pm at the YMCA. All delegates are expected to volunteer at this event (which is super cute and a lot of fun). Delegates will help with arts & crafts for kids and serving holiday treats. And with promoting the event!

4.) Meeting Schedule: There will be *no* meeting on Wednesday, November 12 after we return from Camp Roberts. There is also no meeting on Wednesday, November 26 due to Thanksgiving. That leaves November 19 as our only regular meeting this month. Please do your best to attend this meeting. We'll be discussing a lot of important things including role selection for the remainder of the conference. You won't want to miss it. (We will meet again on 12/3, 12/10, 12/12 at Swim With Santa, and 12/17.)
