YG68 Delegation Bulletin #6: Please Read Me


Remember how long last week's bulletin was? This one is a bit shorter but still important: (check your email for attachments referenced here)

Meeting Schedule this week:
6:00pm Officers Meeting - come with public service project and social event ideas
6:30pm-7:30pm Regular meeting. Bring your bill research!

1.) Mixed Bags Sales: DUE THIS WEEK! Bring back your order forms and all money to this week's meeting.
2.) Payment due this week: Please bring your $250 payment (or approved alternate amount) to the meeting this week.

3.) Register for the conference. no really. do this now. Some of you still haven't. The deadline is approaching, so don't miss out.
- Head to: https://app.reggo.org/calymca
- You'll select the first option for "68th ML/C Training & Elections Conference I"
- Then you'll select "Delegate registration" and put "1" in the number box.
- Create your Reggo profile.
- From the drop-down Delegation menu, select "Sacramento Central"
- Your role is "delegate"
And follow the prompts from there. That's it!

4. ) November 2 meeting added: Please make a note in your calendar that we are adding a special Monday meeting on November 2 to prepare for our Bill Hearing Night on November 4th! Mark it down!
5.) Sweatshirt Design to be chosen this week: Bring your design ideas. We have to pick one this week. We are approved to have a maroon color, full-zip hoodie. Designs can be in multiple colors (no more than 3 and think of ways you can use the shirt color as one of the design colors) The final shirt will have to include the Y and coalition logos as well. (Returners - wear examples from previous years to show our new delegates!)

6.) Bill groups: The only bill ideas to survive this week will have preliminary structure and research to support them. Remember the key pitfalls to watch for: is your proposal something that state government has the ability to do or is it a federal issue? Who is going to pay for it? Does it already exist?  Use the attached research tips and worksheet to prepare yourselves.

7.) GroupMe: Your delegation leadership uses the GroupMe app to communicate important reminders and updates, especially during conferences. We'll be adding you to this app. Look for a text message from us, soon. You can download the free GroupMe app for Apple or Android or you can use it through your text messaging system. For more info, visit: https://groupme.com/

8.) Leadership applications due Friday BUT...: Are you interested in running for office or applying for appointed leadership? Applications are now available through Reggo (See item 3 above). Attached is the chart with program area descriptions and leadership opportunities. Even if you don't think you'll apply, it's worth reading over for the program area descriptions alone. NOTE: advisors must approve your application before it is considered submitted. If you want until 11pm on Friday to do your app, what are the chances your advisor will be able to approve it? HINT: ZERO PERCENT CHANCE. Your application should be complete and ready for approval by Thursday night. I can't promise you it will get approved on time if you don't complete it before then.
