Summer YAC Meeting - OMD YAC

• Dietary needs are always a bit hectic. We are working on gluten-­‐free candy and we
need to pay attention to church food restrictions as well as attending youths’.
• Aside from being introduced at opening circle, there isn’t much to identify a chaplain
with, aside from a customary bandanna. We want to be sure these are displayed
openly and clearly.
• We need to get flashlights for the night angels to use, as well as implement a night
angel introductory meeting at the beginning of cons.
• Chaplains and the touch group coordinators tend to hop touch groups, which is what
they’re supposed to do, we just advise that they stick with a group for at least ten
minutes before moving to the next.
• Just a positive comment, surprise cleanup has actually become a surprise in the past
year, no longer being held directly before the talent show, but at various points in the
evening.
• It has been mentioned quite a few times over the past year, and we repeat it again
now, do not be opening doors during the dance. By that time of night, you shouldn’t
even be going outside anyway.
• It has been suggested that we start to vacuum the floors every night, so there isn’t a
huge buildup or lots to clean up Sunday morning.
• The talent show has a horrible tendency to last way too long. Each person is talented
and we appreciate it, but the dance gets cancelled or shortened when the talent show
runs for too long, as well as other issues arise. From now on, the MC will only do tiny
acts if time needs filled, otherwise, they will time and regulate the talent show and it’s
acts. Each act should be no longer than five minutes.
• Touch Groups are mandatory. Each youth must attend their assigned touch group
during the specified meeting times.
• If you sign up to be a leader in some way, do it because you’re going to lead and are
willing to step up. Don’t just use it as a means to an end.
• Touch groups need to do their assigned set up or tear down jobs for meal times. This
will be communicated better to the touch groups to help them understand that this is
their job and they will do it.
• Use common sense, people.
