YAC meeting 2/17/11
As we are greeted with a wave of humid wind and seventy-degree weather to melt massive piles of snow, we meet again after weeks and weeks of dormant activity.
This month (or whatever is left of it), we are going over Relay for Life activities, collaborative art project (Pay it Forward), and RAK week.
RAK is a simple activity project standing for "Random Acts of Kindness". The purpose of this is to practice daily acts of kindness throughout the Casady campus. The world is really becoming a mean place. This is part of our six billion paths to peace.
Our current mission is to spread out our community and restate YAC.
--
Walk the World - now lead by Jasmine
---
From your friendly neighborhood YAC yak:
Before next year when we have incoming Freshmen and other new yakkies, YAC needs to be cleaned up. We need a YAC retreat to really get our ideas together, especially before our senior president chair Caitlin leaves for college. So, if we begin a (if I may) YAC Reformation project, YAC would look less intimidating as a whole.
This year, what began as a simple community service club has branched out into a beautiful tree of broad new ideas. There are many different "branches" of YAC such as Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity (Service Saturdays), and even some new twigs that have sprouted, such as YAC Asian Connections.
Our first step should be establishing what YAC is, as in what YAC stands for. YAC has a great past. This year has been experimental and we need to establish a firm base now.
Our deadline is the A day February 28th for the Freshman class. We are addressing them because they are the future of YAC. We want their ideas.
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 18TH FEDEX TIME 12-a maximum of 2:30. Lunch is provided.
sign up TODAY! All information about and from this meeting will be ONLINE right HERE AND NOW! Stay tuned!

We are also hoping to have a couple of Model UN students from OU and OSU. The idea is to either have a panel or just have kids talk about what they do.
Let me know if your students would be interested in participating. We would love to have them at our Luncheon! Luis Daniel Palacios luisdaniel@gmail.com
Freshmen Chairs: CLASS MEETINGS-4-SOPHOMORES AND FRESHMEN (January 20th agenda). Arjun, Jasmine and Shiva did not give ideas in this regard.
