Agenda
* Food Drive Final Results Update: AMAZING YEAR! $3,000.77 in cash and checks. Cans and boxes of food weighted. Pounds are divided by a number to give the total number of meals. The first official report from the Food Bank was "The total number of pounds collected was 5,141. Casady’s total number of meals for 2016 is 19,232.85"
On Thursday, we provided Miss Price 50+ more cans from the Juniors. Friday, Mrs Small took the last PD cans when she and Mrs. Jenkins volunteered. The final meals results will not be ready until Tuesday.
Ellie will create a letter for any YAC member who desires to send it to businesses requesting matching our donations of funding. Ellie will be guided by https://www.regionalfoodbank.org/uploads/sah/Pounds%20for%20Dollars.pdf. The Food Bank has requested to provide a list of any targeted business.
Agenda
* LUNCH with Mr. Rainbolt: Mr Rainbolt, our main benefactor, is able to come to Casady to hear about Service-Learning, YAC, and Youth LEAD OKC on Tuesday, December 13 or Wednesday, December 14, What is a better day for the YAC Planning Team and any interested YAC member? We will have lunch served at the MD Community Room and continue our meeting during the Activities Period. We decided on Tuesday, December 13th because the freshmen do not have many out of lunches. Mrs. Clay asked YAC Planning team to prioritize meeting Mr. Rainbolt. She gave a little background of what Mr. Rainbolt means for Service-Learning/YAC and the Oklahoma City community

December 2: Chapel Presentation (Powerpoint included below)
December 5-9: Donation drive takes place
December 9: Infant Crisis Services picks up donations at the student center (I will talk with Courtney Thomas at ICS about this, but would 3rd period be a good time to pick up the donations?)
This is the flyer I made
This is the flyer that will be on the TV screens in the Upper Division
This is the Powerpoint presentation for Upper Division chapel. I am still trying to decide which video to use for the presentation.
TO DO:
I need to communicate more closely with the Lower and Primary Divisions, but I have emailed them each month from August and gotten no reply. I also need to make the donation boxes, secure transportation, make posters, and get the ornaments (Lower Division only).
Conclusion:
This is the work I have done thus far, and I hope I am on schedule, but please contact me if you have any suggestions or further questions. Thank you so much for your time!
