4.  INVITATIONS:
SIGN-UP
-YAC Fedex Time-Strategic Planning: Sign-up, Saturday May 2, 1:30-4:30  STUCO, YLOKC invited to participate.  Fee: Bring snacks and drinks.  Facilitator: Mr. Evan Walter  Jessica and Sydney
-Sunday May 3, 1:30-3:30 Labyrinth Experience for YAC/YLOKC and Casady interested seniors facilitated by Cannon Susan Joplin

Cannon Susan Joplin envisions giving YLOKC an orientation talk in the chapel (just adjacent to the labyrinth) that would be about 20 minutes. After that, we could all go out to the labyrinth together. I think we should allow an hour for this number of people to walk.

This would be the proposed schedule for the day:

1:30 Gather at the labyrinth  http://www.uco.edu/academic-affairs/cettl/cettl-files/ucos-labyrinth.pdf.  Diane Rudebock builder of the labyrinth on site to answer questions.

2:00  Orientation to the labyrinth talk in the chapel

2:30 Labyrinth walk

(followed by time for reflection)

My friend Diane Rudebock is the one who built the UCO labyrinth. She would like to be there, too, to greet those who have come to walk the labyrinth she built. She would be able to answer their questions about the building of the UCO labyrinth and I will be leading the labyrinth walk.

Before we leave the chapel and go out to the labyrinth, I will instruct them on how to do a reflection after their walk. They will be free to sit and reflect in the labyrinth garden or go inside the chapel for more private reflection.

AWARD CEREMONY

Aubrey                                                                                             

Thank you Mr. Rainbolt for your inspirational words.  And now we proceed to the facilitation of the 2015 President Volunteer Service Awards. 

Dylan                                                                                                  

 The President Volunteer Service Award is an initiative of the Corporation for National and Community Service and is administered by the Points of Light Foundation.   With a shared mission of inspiring more to answer the call to service, the award celebrates the impact we can all make in bettering our communities and our world.

Aubrey                                                                                                 

The President’s Volunteer Service Award recognizes United States citizens and lawfully admitted, permanent residents who have achieved a required number of hours of service over a 12-month time period .                                                                                               

Even though volunteers may not seek recognition, their example can deliver a powerful message that encourages others to take action.

Dylan                                                                                             

Awardees receive a medal, a letter from the President of the United States, Barrack Obama and a certificate of achievement.

Aubrey                                                                                           

Awardees, when your name is called, please walk to receive your medal.  Remain standing until all names are called and 3 group pictures are taken. 

Dylan                                                                                                 After chapel, your certificates and a small token of YAC’s appreciation for your commitment to making a difference and finding your passion to serve await for you at the Casady Wing.  We ask the audience to kindly refrain from applause until all names are called.
