Budget and Schedule considerations  Placed on the parking lot for next meeting
The clubs' fair is approaching.  August 26th

YAC needs to have a plan of action to recruit members and assign coverage of table responsibilities as well as who will make recruitment posters and purchase the snacks that will be teen friendly and attract them to at least sign-up to explore YAC's first meeting on the first Friday assigned to club meetings. 

YAC will continue to meet on Fridays after chapel.  Challenges: Sports schedule, other clubs meeting at the same time, school needs of Fridays after chapel for administrative meetings. 

The only YAC fundraiser, Fall Fest, is the week of homecoming, September 27.  YAC chairs need to manpower the booth and have an idea what they will sell to generate a budget for YAC activities for the year. 

YAC also needs to provide a budget and apply for funding from S-L for snacks for meetings and project funding needs.  The S-L budget is shared with all divisions and the funding is limited.  The application process for Casady Service-Learning Grants is simple: Answer the Who? What? When? Why?  How? and How much? of the project needs.  The proposals are reviewed by YAC chairs, not involved in the project, Mrs. Clay and Mr. Sheldon before grant funding is approved.  All projects on campus and connecting to students and families need to be approved by the UD Director, Dr. Brad Philipson and the Dean of Students Coach T..  Dean of Freshmen Students, Coach McHargue needs to be included in the approval of project proposals including the freshman class.
