3. Old Business
Feedback/reflection on May Activities
The May activities were good and enjoyable for the ones who were able to participate The PSA breakfast and the way the ceremony was done should be repeated. GRACIAS to Safra, Marian, Isaiah and Mi'Angila for facilitating the chapel recognition and to Symon and Mrs. Derick for the performance and photo. Sage also did a wonderful job with the food at the lowest possible cost.
The only regret was that the PSA was not during NVW. For NVW 2018, we should have in mind connections to teachers interest because their collaboration made the Tai Chi and Heritage Weaving successful. Special thanks to Gabrielle and Mallory for a very successful GYSD OKC Hands Project, over $4,800 sent in Bezos Foundation matching for decorated uplift from poverty hands. Thank you also to Jake and Cathy for organizing a great Earth Day Street Clean-Up through the Environmental Club. Thank you to the YAC Hospitality Chairs for making NVW decisions, to Gabrielle and Hallie for helping make the goodie bags and to Sahanya for helping set-up the breakfast and for bringing the idea of rain barrel advocacy art as well as purchasing supplies. Arigato! to Mr. Swenson for helping us change plans when the rain barrel paint did not work and for going to get more appropriate supplies. Finally, special thanks to Mrs. Pardue for continuing advocacy art on the rain barrel intended for Peace Week 2017 and to Centennial High School for sending 1100 decorated hands with us.
4. New Business

All officers decorated "thank you" items for the seniors who were in positions of YAC leadership this year during the meeting.

Thank you senior celebration for service to the Casady and OKC community. Done when all seniors have finished the requirement. We still have 4 seniors serving this week and we expect everyone to be finished by Monday. The senior send off activity will be finalized at Monday, May 13 meeting at 7:30 at Harper.

| Water is Life |
One of the Casady rain barrels will be donated to Centennial High School Community Garden
- Help the environment by collecting rainwater from roof and gutters.
- By holding back rainwater during a storm, rain barrels help lessen pollution, erosion and flooding.
- With less rainwater running-off the land, less pollution flows into our creeks and rivers (which are the sources of our drinking water).
- Collecting and using your rainwater saves money on your water and sewer bills.
- Use the rainwater to water lawns, gardens and landscaping, fill fountains and ponds, and wash cars and other items.
