Re-inventing YAC, Invitational @ Starbucks and Clubs Fair

After a senior chairs meeting at our annual, YAC invitational, which in 2012 took place at Starbucks, the YAC leadership decided to re-invent YAC as "A Club that you make it be what you want it to be."  Attendees were senior chairs, Rebekah and Caitlin.  Martin, a new senior joined the invitational to explore YAC as a possible club.

In a reflective time to introduce Martin to YAC, Rebekah stated" You make YAC what it needs to be. The answer to what YAC stands for was provided by Salman'14: You-nite A Community" The Why? was stated by Chandler'12 and Zainab'12 in a poster they made for Clubs Fair 2011: "Find your Passion to Help.  The How for YAC 2011-2012 developed organically as stated at  http://casadyyac.blogspot.com/2012/05/yac-2011-2012-reflection.html  Finally, Martin was told that reasons to join YAC varied from "making a difference to opportunity to meet people and get service hours."

Senior YAC Chairs, Rebekah, Caitlin, Tina, and Martin found the perfect treats to attract over 100 possible members to YAC at the Clubs Fair 2012.  They also decided to be more proactive at bringing YAC to the student body through chapel speeches they will be instrumental in making from time to time. 

Somewhat, YAC became the hub for PASS also at the Clubs Fair.  Homemade cookies and international candy donated by Super Cao Nguyen-Marti's idea-, attracted teens of all grade levels.  Special thanks to the YAC senior chairs for manpowering the booth and to Mrs. Clay for documenting the fair for reflective purposes.
