October YAC Board Breakfast Meeting

Agenda
Old Business
Officers Reports
Sarah and Braeden did not have anything to report
Rose said that she would not be able to attend the JASO meeting but wanted to know what resources she could count on to enhance Multicultural Week Celebrations.

Fall Fest Report Vincent requested for the YAC booth to have only one table to focus on fundraising for YAC next year. Other projects could have their own tables. Josh said that a tent was perhaps not needed. The location of the tent was terrible. Next year, YAC needs to consider being next to Multicultural Club because they sell the food and we sell the international drinks.

New Business
1. Home Groups:
Goal: Relevant and engaged freshman participation in service-learning. Relationship Building time with focus on freshman needs
November site visits: Who is going where, tentative reservation of suburban and bus
Braeden will have date and location next week. He will call a meeting with his group after chapel. He requested $45 per meeting for snacks for his group. Vincent and Braeden will talk about it. Mrs. Clay suggests a feed provided by the team for snacks.
Caitlin reported that Chandler is not going to need a site visit. She will join the elderly group.
Vincent stated that he will also join the elderly group. Mrs. Clay reported that 3 freshmen went to Johnson elementary to explore being music teachers on Fridays from 4:00 - 4:30 p.m. The next site visit will be the Friday after Mid-Winter Break.
Other home group facilitators were not present.
Sophomore chairs did not attend the meeting, nor did Aamina or Rebecca. We have not heard from Rebecca and we need to ask her if she wishes to keep her name as part of the board.
Josh will change the date of breakfast meetings for Challenge 20/20. We started communication with the school in New York and the project needs to start functioning next week. He is checking for a breakfast meeting at Jimmy's Egg with Mr. Huestis, Mr. Bright, Mrs. Zesiger, Mrs. Clay and Khadija. Goal: Report on current status of Challenge 20/20 Global Warming, recruitment of volunteers and date and time for meetings. NAIS has requested Mrs. Clay to attend a possible panel in Malta and present the Casady Challenge 20/20 participation. Mrs. Clay wrote an article for NAIS regarding Casady's participation as part of her proposal.

Casady Cans Do - Indirect Service-Mr. Pena stated that STUCO will take care of all divisions and will have a dramatization of the Can Do Thanksgiving for the LD. Aamina is leading this project. She will make the flyers and work in conjunction with STUCO. We are not sure what role Graham wants to play in this project yet.

National Service-Learning Challenge: Josh and Mrs. Clay will start the brainstorming of this project. YAC chairs will present it at chapel.
Goal: Promote service-learning and YAC in our community
