SacC MUN 2020 Bulletin #3: Goals and Resolutions

Parents - please share this email with your Ambassador if they don't have an email address of their own yet, and if they do have an address, remind them to check their inbox! 

At the next meeting: We'll continue to to build or UN Trail Mix, Hear from our Sustainability Goals Volunteers, and more. 

What's due:  Sustainability Goals Volunteers should be prepared to share information about their selected Sustainability Goal; Reggo Conference Registration; Spring Break Survey
What's overdue: Reggo Conference Registration

1.) Sharing Sustainability Development Goals. Next week, our volunteers will present their selected Sustainable Development Goals to help the delegation learn about all of them. Here is who will present:

• Cameron on Goal 6
• Adelaide on Goal 9
• Joy on Goal 10
• Rowan on Goal 13
• Riley on Goal 14
• Azadeh on Goal 15

If you lost your paper copy from last week, the worksheet (and links to info on the goals) to use so you have notes on all the information to share can be found here. Ambassadors should be prepared to share for 1-2 minutes and don't need to have anything memorized. They can read from their worksheets. We need folks to share their topics because we need to learn about them all so we can select one that we want to study more in-depth this year and use for our sweatshirt design!

2.) Weekly Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article: Each week, the bulletin will include 1-3 articles from the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We may use these as discussion or debate topics at meetings from time to time. You can learn more about the Declaration here and make sure to read the Preamble!

• Article 3. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
• Article 4. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
• Article 5. No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

3.) Resolutions Review: This week, we learned about "Resolutions" - which are the documents that members of the UN create to share their proposals for how to make the world a better place. Resolutions have two parts: Preambulatory Clauses and Operative Phrases. We started sharing the Resolutions drafted about our Trail Mix ingredients. If you want to review Resolutions, check out the presentation here. To review the script for how we share resolutions in MUN, check out this link. 

4.) Meet the Secretariat! This week, MLC Delgeate Miraya joined us for our meeting. She was selected to be a Secretariat this past weekend at the Model Legislature & Court Training and Elections II Conference. Also serving as Secretariat this year will be high school delegates Jimmy and Jenni. From our sister delegation, Gold Country, Secretariat Mia and Anni were also selected. You'll be meeting them at our conference in March. Congrats to our Capitol Coalition Secretariat! 

Parent Corner

-Please Remind Your Ambassador to Complete The Sustainability Goals Worksheet! If your Ambassador's name is listed above, please make sure they complete their sustainability goals worksheet and bring it back next week, prepared to share with the delegation. All of our Ambassadors did a great job this week sharing and speaking in front of the group - so remind them that they can do this! Their Advisors believe in them! We're hoping to complete this project within the next two meetings so that we can use the information we've learned about to design our delegation sweatshirt this year. 

- Spring Break Survey: Last year, the conference fell during spring break for many Ambassadors - not so this year! To help us plan our April meeting schedule - which is full of important conference prep - please complete this short spring break survey to help us finalize the meeting schedule. 

- Reggo Conference Registration: Yes, this is one more request for you to fill out similar info to what was included on paper forms and on our internal registration form - but it's required for all! Please visit Reggo to register and set up a Reggo account (free). Ambassadors will need to access Reggo later in the program to apply for leadership or other special programs, so keep the log-in and password handy! Here's an illustrated how-to if you need it!

- Snack Sign-Up: Thank you to all who have signed up for a snack week! If you'd like to bring snack for an unclaimed meeting, please use this sign-up form. Please do not bring products with nuts or peanuts. 

Thank you!
