Reminders:
Volunteer Event, Saturday, April 13:
Our Service Event for the year will take place on Saturday, April 13 at Burberry Park in the Natomas Area. We will fill out the form and let them know that we are all attending as a Delegation. Please return this waiver if you did not fill it out at the last meeting. Advisors will be in attendance but parents are welcome to attend as well! Wear your delegation sweatshirt! (Tie it around your waist if it's warm).
The event runs from 10am-2pm. Bring a water bottle with you. We will have lunch at In-N-Out provided by the YMCA for each Ambassador who attends the service day!
Parent Corner:
- Summit Arrivals: It seems from our survey that most Ambassadors expect to be in the LA area between 2 and 4pm. We will set our meet-up time as 4pm at the Sheraton. More info about check-in procedures will be available at the April 16 pre-conference meeting.
- Preparation - Parents, please take some time to review the Summit Preparation information with your Ambassador. Ask them to explain to you their task and their topics. This will help them better understand the information and help them identify questions to ask advisors or program staff.
