3rd YAC MEETING: Distribution of T-shirts

Participants: Sorters of t-shirts (Sasha, Khadija, Christine L., Arjun,study hall volunteers, Mrs. Clay) Distribution of t-shirts (Kristine L. Jasmine,Khadija) We sorted t-shirts for all divisions.

The purpose of the meeting was to distribute t-shirts for the out of uniform on Tuesday. We did not accomplish our goal of 100% distribution, but we distributed many t-shirts. T-shirts were sorted by chapel rows. Students came to the Community Center and got their t-shirt for their chapel row pile and scratch their name to signify that they had received the t-shirt.
