Here's what you need to know this week:
Sweatshirt designs
Our coalition sweatshirts this year will be white. Both delegations will choose their sweatshirt design at this week's meetings. Printing will be done in ONE color (only). You pick the design for the front of the shirt. The back of the shirt will feature the Y logo and our Coalition logo in the shoulder area. You have the option of an additional design or words (subject to approval) in the center below the two logos. All designs must be Y-appropriate and either digitally available for the printer or drawn on paper in a format/manner the printer can turn into a printed image.
Mixed Bags Orders
If you have collected Mixed Bags Orders, you MUST return them to your delegation meeting this week (with payments for orders). If you have any questions, contact your Lead Advisor.
Join us on October 29 for a day at the park with delegates from the El Dorado and Sacramento Central delegations. Location is TBD, but it will take place at a park in El Dorado Hills this year, Sac Central - we'll set up some carpools! We'll eat, we'll play, we'll get to know each other. It's going to be a great day! (El Dorado Delegates earn 3 points for attending!)
To attend, you must RSVP and there is a $10 fee to cover lunch and event supplies: http://bit.ly/CapCoFieldDay2016 Please bring your $10 to this week's meeting.
Thirty people are late with payments. If you have not yet made the $300 payment due on September 14/15, please make a payment online today. The next $300 payment is due by October 12 (Sac Central)/13 (El Dorado).
Y-Assist Financial Assistance, Individual Scholarships, And More Fundraising Opportunities:
You should have received notification of your Y-Assist award from Dylan O'Tarrow last week. We expect that you will receive a notification from Cal YMCA Youth & Government this week about the Individual Scholarship they offer. They also offer a second round of scholarships in December (more on that when we get closer to it). Additionally, we have several more fundraisers coming, We are committed to ensuring that financial hardship never prevents a delegate from completing this program. If you have additional concerns, please contact your lead advisor ASAP.
Bill Development:
If you have a bill idea and want to be a bill sponsor, then you should have your idea written down and have done some preliminary research by this week's meeting.
Want a recap of initial bill research tips? Check out this video. For more tips - check out this doc. If you have a bill idea, start thinking about these questions and use them to guide your research. This week, in El Dorado, we went over types of legislation - if you missed out, here's a video to catch you up.
SAC CENTRAL:
This coming Saturday, October 8, is the Tahoe Park Clean-Up Day. PLEASE do your best to attend. RSVP here. Since Tahoe Park is our home, we should do our best to help keep it beautiful!
EL DORADO:
Points: We now award points for meeting attendance, conference registration, and other activities. Points affect your ability to select the program area of your choosing. Don't leave points on the table!
