Y&G Sac Central Bulletin #5: All kinds of bills (legislative and dollar)

A big thank-you to all who attended Camp Capital City on Saturday (as guest or volunteer). Our event was a success because of you! Here are some photos from the evening. If you have any to share, please send them my way!

- Meetings run till 8pm.  
- Get into bill research and writing! Bring you bill ideas or areas of interest so we can discuss.

 - What to bring to meetings: Pen/pencil, paper or notebook, and your planner or calendar.

And here's what you need to know this week:

1.) Mixed Bags sales DUE WEDNESDAY: All orders and money are due by September 27 - that's THIS WEEK. No late orders can be accepted!  Now is the time to make those last few sales. Remember, 50% of what you sell is credited directly to YOUR program fee balance. If you need information on sales (how to, what to do about sales tax, who to make checks payable to, check out the instruction sheet.)

2.) Bill Work Kicks Into Gear: This week we'll get into bill writing details.  Make sure you are reading the news a little every day still. Check out this video about the different types of legislation that exist within the state and our program.  Bring your bill ideas to this week's meeting.

3.) Sweatshirt Designs: Our shirts will be charcoal gray this year. Bring your design ideas to this week's meeting. This year, you can use up to 3 colors of ink to print the design on the front of the shirt. We'll be voting on a design this week. 

4.)  Payments and Financial Aid: If you did not sign up for automatic payments, please bring a check payable to "Sacramento YMCA" with your name in the memo line to this week's meeting or pay online here. The amount due by September 15 was $375 for most delegates. If you submitted your CalYMCA individual scholarship application, we expect to hear back from them on awards by October 2nd and will let you know if your program fee balance is further reduced. 

5.) Chipotle Fundraiser: Tell everyone you know to take this flyer to the Downtown/Midtown Chipotle on Capitol or to the East Sac one on Folsom Blvd between 10:45am and 10pm (that's ALL DAY - lunch AND dinner!) on Friday, October 6 (a little less than 2 weeks from now) and 50% of their order will be donated back to our delegation. Don't want to print anything out? No problem, you can also show them the flyer on your phone or even just say you're there for our YMCA Y&G delegation and - presto! - you'll help us raise money. Here's a FB event you can use to promote the fundraiser. Share it far and wide! Invite your friends!
