-Calendar (Aubrey)
- YAC meetings in Harper Wing on Tuesdays during Activities 10:05 (To be approved by Coach T, at Activities Sponsors Meeting next week)
- Theme for the year: Children
- YAC meetings: Activities! not just communication of opportunities
- YAC funding comes from an endowment provided by the Rainbolt Family. $100 per month have been allocated to YAC needs like supplies for projects, snacks for meeting (last year we had donations from YAC members because YAC membership grew too large. This year, we might need to consider a fee to belong to the club or have a sign-up to bring snacks because Activities is in the middle of the morning and members will be hungry. The idea of a social chair was turned down and place this responsibility under the management of the treasurer. YAC's only fundraiser is Fall Fest!)
- YAC Planning Team- Executive Board Communication
Teen board communicates via text. Aubrey ask everyone to get an app for communication.
Mrs. Clay sends messages via e-mail only. Her communication should be timely, at least 3 or 4 days ahead. If instant communication needed, Mrs. Clay will go through YAC planning team officers. YAC members can send texts to her 405-520-1325
The marketing and communication officer, Grace needs a team to have -administrative approved social media outlets of communication that are timely updated.
- Chapel Service Announcements: A youth (YAC/STUCO) will pick the service opportunity from the daily announcements where Mrs. Clay will provide supervision that week. Mrs. Clay is suggesting Dylan and Cathy to decide since they are in both YAC and STUCO. For example, for Peace Week, we have the following service opportunities AS OF 8/17/2015 for YAC to ACT in the community.
