What's overdue: Payment #2 (see info below); Training Conference Transportation Survey; Spring Break Survey - help us finalize our meeting schedule by completing this survey today!
1.) International Court of Justice. This week, well have a special guest speaker to talk with us about the International Court of Justice program area.
2.) Security Council. A benefit of representing Russia this year - we have a seat on the UN Security Council! Not every delegation has a spot in this fun program area. We'll learn all about it this week.
3.) Program Area Preferences. As of this week's meeting, we'll have learned about all of the MUN Organs in which you can serve at the Summit. This week, you'll be asked to rank your program area preferences. We only have a few spots in each program area. Not everyone will receive their top choice but your advisors will make sure you end up in the best program area for you!
4.) Country Fact Sheet. Don't forget to bring back your completed country fact sheet!
5.) Volunteer Event Ideas. Do you have an idea for a community service or other volunteer event we can do as a delegation in the next month or so? Bonus if it is related to our chosen Sustainable Development Goal. Bring your ideas to the next meeting or send your advisors an email.

Parent Corner
- Payment #2 Due: the second program payment was due February 20. If you haven't yet, please bring your payment (or pay online) this week. Checks are payable to YMCA of Superior California and should have your Ambassador's name in the memo line.
- Conference Transportation Plans. Thanks for your patience as we finalize our transportation plans for this program year. Here is where we stand:
- March Training Conference: Thank you to those who have volunteered to drive in March. At this week's meeting, we'll have parent driver packets that you'll need to fill out. All volunteer drivers will also need to be fingerprinted. Instructions will be provided at this week's meeting as well.
- April Summit: We will be bus-pooling with a Bay Area delegation to and from Los Angeles. The bus will pick us up from the YMCA in Sacramento at about 6:30am on Thursday, April 23 and return us on Sunday evening, April 26. Final times and details will be in a future bulletin.
Reminders:
Resolutions Review: At previous meetings, 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. 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. These are the core of what Ambassadors work on who are in the General Assembly and Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) organs.
Thank you!
