Feliz Dia de Bajada de Reyes

MLK Day: http://mlkday.gov/
Meeting Minutes: Facilitators: Mrs. Clay, Zainab, Khadija

a. . YAC students reflected YAC and personal service hours.

b. MLK Day
1. To encourage Chandler to consider having her project on MLK Day, a YAC member offered to buy the four scarves she has left. Zainab was going to contact Chandler to let her know. If Chandler agrees, YAC will start promoting the project as the YAC project for MLK Day. Chandler has rehearsals in the afternoon, therefore, this will be a project in the morning
2. Khadija talked about her art project for the Respect Diversity Foundation on May Peace Prevail on Earth as another possibility. Mrs. Clay and Khadija are having a meeting next week with an artist who if available and weather provided, might became a great MLK Day advocacy project.
3. Jessica will investigate possibilities with WINGS
4. Seondre started to investigate possibilities with REBUILDING TOGETHER. He got in touch with Tim and they will let him know if they can accomodate a project on MLK Day BY TUESDAY.

C. Next Meeting Agenda: YAC sign-up for MLK Day projects; Reflection of hours; and thank you notes on stationary design by Chandler.
