1. ICS Hope for the Holidays:
Volunteers, schedule, process
-Katherine asked to check schedules and sign up at the Casady YAC Community Room or let her know to add names to the list she is maintaining. In the document below are the dates of the drive and the available shifts as well as the schedule.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LsQwk4147_AWtB0DDmG52NZ6mw0fMmm9CjgtUTyTQi8/edit
Volunteers will get service hours, but are not to miss chapel. Volunteers should be wearing holiday attire to motivate and remind donors. Holiday music could be played at all divisions. Volunteers need to text a group picture to Mrs. Clay to receive hours.
Process and needs
Three divisions will participate: PD, LD, and UD. Katherine had a very successful drive last year with PD and LD. This year she is adding the UD. She is going to try in small scale the Change for Change idea. Katherine will be at the UD counting donors for participation. She will provide chapel updates through STUCO. The grade with most participation will get an out of uniform and an extra out to lunch. THANK YOU, COACH T.
Mrs. Clay also asked for members to start thinking about other creative, inspiring and exciting incentives for future drives.
Mrs. Clay requested help with ideas and looking at Katherine's PP for her chapel presentation to let her know which video will be most motivating to teen donors.
Mrs Clay is scheduling a YAC meeting on Monday, November 14th at 7:30 am for anyone able to help make posters for this drive. Volunteers may also make posters during the holidays and keep track of time invested to receive credit.

NEWSFamily Volunteer Day, Sponsored by the Points of Light Foundation
Family Volunteer Day is a day of service that celebrates the power of families who work together to support their communities and neighborhoods. Volunteering is a great way for kids and adults to make new friends, develop compassion for their neighbors, and even pick up a new skill or two! It’s an amazing day – don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity!
Care Bags for our OKC Homeless. A Casady sophomore filled backpacks with water bottles, socks, Bibles, tissue, rain ponchos, gum, hand sanitizer and a few other things. She and her family handed the care bags to homeless people in the downtown area.
