1.) Deadlines:

2.) MANDATORY meeting next week - Feb 4
Our
pre-conference planning meeting is next Wednesday, Feb 4 at 6pm at the
Y. Delegates are required to attend. Parents are encouraged to attend.
3.) Sac Attire
Attached
is a slideshow about Sac Attire. If you have any questions about the
dress code, bring them to next week's meeting (along with any clothing
articles you're not sure about).
4.) Spring Conference
Loved
your Y&G experience so far? Want to get one more conference in
before graduation? Want to introduce friends to delegate life? Spring
Conference, April 10-12, is for you! It's like a mini-Sac Conference,
but with no dress code, camping, and a water slide. It's the best.
Attached is the SpringCon registration packet.
If you are a
returning delegate and you wish to attend you MUST bring back your
completed registration materials and a $25 non-refundable deposit to
next week's meeting to reserve your spot (space is limited).
The total program fees for Spring Conference are $200. That does not include train fare for travel between Sacramento and Corcoran (expected to be between $60-$80)
Extended
payment plan options are available. Limited Y-Assist funds are
available. If you applied for Y-Assist support for this past program
year, your application will roll over to this event.
New delegates must submit deposits, Y-Assist Applications, and Registration packets by March 4.
5.) YMCA Annual Support CampaignEach
year, the YMCA's Y-Assist fund supports community access to programs
like Youth & Government, swim lessons, childcare, youth sports,
summer camp, and more. Every February, YMCAs across the country hold
their annual support campaigns to raise money to ensure no one is turned
away from our programs due to financial concerns. Whether or not you
personally received a Y-Assist award, we all benefit from the participation of each member of our delegation.
And
so, to give back, we'll be having an Annual Support Campaign Call Night
on Wednesday, February 25, 2015, at the YMCA. This is a mandatory event
for all delegates. It's a fun and easy and requires just a couple of
hours of your time. Mark your calendars!

Y&G Delegation Bulletin #16: Welcome to 2015!
Did everyone have a great Winter Break? Hope you rested up because we're going to hit the ground running!
1.) Meeting January 7: We're back to our regular meeting schedule this week. Agenda highlights: Conference Preview, Food Drive Planning with Victoria, NIC proposal help for our NIC peeps, and more!
NOTE MEETING LOCATION CHANGE FOR JAN 7 ONLY:
Late breaking news update:
We still need to wrap up the bill boxes project so we're going to combine that with our meeting this week. Accordingly, we will be meeting at the Y&G HQ ****not at our YMCA****.
Here is where you need to be:
2555 3rd Street, Suite 215
Sacramento CA 95818
Our meeting will go from 6:15 to 8pm. (The start time is adjusted a bit to ensure that everyone can arrive on time)
Delegates, please email Christiana so that she knows you know where our meeting is this Wednesday.
1a.) NIC delegates: you should have sketched out some proposal ideas. You'll need to have a draft proposal to take with you to T&EII. Remember that Tony is a great NIC resource! And your delegation is happy to be an idea sounding board.
2.) A new google form for a new year! Huzzah - you LOVE these, right? In this edition: payment reminders, community service opportunities and more. All information I need from you that's easiest to collect this way. It's also handy for checking up on who reads the bulletin. Make sure you click and complete today:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-el_vPdL3SiC0s0QYS-Jje87JJoxrdUAipd36uj7_YE/viewform
3.) Payment reminder: your final payment is due this Wednesday, January 7. If your parent is going to call in a payment or drop it off, please do so BEFORE the Wednesday meeting. We need all payments in on time this week. Thanks!
4.) Hotel Room Assignments for T&EII: This week, you'll be grouping yourselves into hotel rooms for Fresno. We'll have two male rooms of 4 each, 1 female room of 3, and 1 female room of 4. Please make this process kind or we'll take over for you. Note that during the Fresno conference you will not be permitted to return to the hotel during conference hours so you'll be spending barely any time there at all anyway and you'll all be next door to each other.
5.) Application deadlines are coming! NJC, CONA, etc etc - some stuff needs letters of rec, some don't. Don't let things go to the last minute!
