"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office." United States Constitution, Article III, Section 1
At the next meeting: You'll learn about the Judicial Branch of Government, get to know Parli Pro, continue to get to know each other, and debate our first major decision of the year: what color will our sweatshirts be?
What's due: Payments and Y-Assist application (where applicable).
Here's what else you need to know this week:
1.) Save the Date: October 5 Webinar: Our first webinar of the year will be Monday, October 5 at 7pm on Media Literacy. Links and details will be sent at the end of this week. You're encouraged to attend live, but a recording will be made available later.
2.) Payments and Financial Aid - Now Due: This year's program fee is $250. There are two payment options:
- Option 1: Pay the entire fee online here. (On the "Review Order Screen" make sure you click the blue "Pay full amount instead" link).
- Option 2: Option 2: Make a $25 deposit online and submit your completed Y-Assist application with supporting documents. Note: applications cannot be processed without the required supporting documentation.
If you are checking out as a guest, select "Sacramento Central YMCA" as your primary location when prompted. If you have trouble with the online payment process, contact Christiana.
If the deposit poses a hardship, contact your lead advisor. As ever, cost should never come between a delegate and Y&G. If you do not need aid, but need an installment payment plan, please contact Christiana. Program fees cover program overhead (ie: zoom webinar account, online election software, speakers’ fees) and your Delegation Care package (sweatshirt, mask, DoD lanyard, and welcome materials)
3.) Sweatshirt Color Vote: Each year, our coalition (Sac Central, El Dorado, and Gold Country Delegations) selects one sweatshirt color through a collaborative process. last week, Gold Co and Eldo each selected 2 colors and this week, our delegation will choose from those 4 colors. To see your options, click here.
4.) Sweatshirt Design Submission: Each delegation designs it's own sweatshirt. If you have an idea for the front of our sweatshirt, you can submit it via this form. Here are some past designs for inspiration. Designs must be Y-appropriate and should assume that we'll only have ONE color of printing on our shirts. Design ideas will be due on Wednesday October 7.
5.) This Week's Zoom Link: Here's the info for this week's delegation meeting. Remember: links may not be shared with non-registered delegates. If you want to invite a guest, email Christiana. Officers should log on at 6pm, all others at 6:30pm.
CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR LINK. Link not posted online for security reasons.
6.) Trivia Time: This week we'll have enjoy some 3 Branches Trivia. You can review the Legislative and Executive branch slides in the Coalition Resource Folder (bookmark it!).
7.) Weekly Meeting Overview: This week we're wrapping up the basics of our structure of government and next week we'll be moving on to our next module on media literacy and reliable information. You can check out this overview of all of our meetings for the year if you want to know what's coming up. Some things may shift from one week to the other, but the basic order of things is pretty much set.
