YG68 Delegation Bulletin #2: And we're off!


{Welcome to our weekly bulletin distribution list, new delegates and parents! You'll get a bulletin each week, usually on Fridays, but, clearly, sometimes on Mondays.}

So glad to see the year off to a great start! It was great to welcome to the meeting this week: Tilton Tiger, Katie Kangaroo, Allie Anteater, Jade Jaguar, Emiliano Egret, Delaney Dolphin, Mathew Monkey, Gus Gorilla, Efrain Elephant, Monse Moose, Dexter Dog, and Victoria Vulture, joined by advisors Robbie Rat, Rob Rabbit, and Christiana Caterpillar. Did I get them all right? (Absentees - you'll pick your animal at the next meeting :)

Here's what you need to know for this week:

1.) Volunteer Opportunity: The YMCA's health fair needs volunteers from 9am to 1pm on Saturday, September 12. Please fill out this form if you can help out! We're happy to sign-off on volunteer hour forms for school if you need them. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12mwqJ-AbCKb1oQLD8EirLO5UWaD0zarccgW7dZMPruE/viewform

2.) Get a jump start on bill writing: what's this bill stuff about? All will be revealed soon. But if you're impatient, check this out:

3.) Registration! Get those materials in. There is a $100 payment due next Wednesday, Sept 2. If you turned in your paperwork last week - THANKS! Make sure your first payment is on time this week. It is also the deadline for the Y-Assist application. If you have questions about anything, let me know ASAP.

It's really important that you bring your materials and your first payment this week, especially the Y-Assist application WITH supporting documentation, if applicable. If the first $100 payment presents a hardship, email or call me to discuss. If you're applying for Y-Assist and the $100 is a hardship, bring what you can ($25, 50, etc) along with your materials this week. As I have mentioned, cost should NEVER cause us to lose an interested delegate. We're a community committed to make sure anyone who wants to participate in this program and makes a commitment to complete it can do so.

4.) Meeting location and time: THIS week, for our Sept 2 meeting on Wednesday we will meet at the YMCA at 6pm, same as we have been. After this week, we will be moving our meetings to the Tahoe Park Community Center and officers will meeting from 6-6:30 with regular meetings running from 6:30-7:30. This gives us a more reliable space with less furniture moving fun. If the location change presents a special hardship, please contact me ASAP. Details about the new location will be provided at the meeting on Wednesday.

YG68 Delegation Bulletin #1: Welcome [Back]!

Hooray for the start of another program year. It was great to see so many returning delegates this week AND so many new delegates, too! We're really excited for the coming year.

You'll receive weekly delegation bulletins (usually on Friday) so make sure to check your email or the FB group at least once a week (by Tuesday afternoon at the latest!) to keep up on the latest news and updates.

Here's what you need to know for next week:

1.) We'll meet again on Wednesday, August 26, at 6pm at the Sacramento Central YMCA (2021 W Street). This week, we'll jump into the bill writing basics after we spend some time getting to know one another. You'll also hear about our first fundraiser of the year and our upcoming Coalition retreat.

2.) Parents and delegates who missed the first meeting are invited to hang out after our regular meeting concludes to go over registration information and get all of your questions answered.

3.) Don't forget to bring back your registration materials! If you attended our meeting last Wednesday, you should've received registration materials for the year. If you couldn't make it (or if you lost your paperwork), just follow these steps to register:
