Welcome!
Here we go with 2008-09! There are many exciting activities you all are going to help plan and lead in the coming year. Since communication is key, we are implementing this blog so that you can have up-to-date information. Look here for announcements, meeting times and places, meeting minutes and a history of what we have accomplished. We, as advisors, are looking forward to working with and getting to know every one of you. We hope that we can help you achieve the goals you set as well as have a fun and challenging experience.
Here are all the slideshows of things we've accomplished from January-May 2008. Draper Youth Council is amazing!!!
Prior to going to the Lesgislature for the Day with our local Officials, we did a pre-test on how a bill becomes a law, watched the very cool Schoolhouse Rock DVD that outlines the process, then did a post-test. Quiz any DYC kid and they ought to be able to tell you how the poor bill finally gets to be a law!
This was fantastic because we heard the ticket quota bill being debated in committee while we at the Capitol, and were able to track its progress. It died on the Senate Floor.
Mayor Smith popped in while we were doing our activity, and he joined in the fun.
Valentines Day cards and cookies for our friends at the Wentworth Assisted Living Facility. Good times!
We had THE best time at the AYC/USU Leaderhsip Conference in March. Our youth officers partnered with the Draper City PD and presented a workshop on Internet Safety, we won an award for our awesome poster designed by Lori, made by Camille, Mim, Sierra and a few a others, we only had one trip to the hospital and we won't mention Gilly's name, lots of snacks, fingernail polish, excellent speakers and workshops, and much much more!
Shortly after we got the Youth Council up and running, we found out that our fabulous meeting room and the Park School would no longer be available. After a tour of City Hall, the library and other places, we settled nicely into the Court Room at City Hall. Here's what our typical planning meetings look like.
This was one of the most sobering activities we did in 2008. Each DYC member made a silhouette cut-out og him/herself, and we posted Domestic Violence and Abuse statistics on the cut-outs. Next we hung them up all throughout City Hall for passersby to observe.
The CVA gals did a wonderful presentation to the youth on how to reach out to friends in scary situations and get appropriate help.
Although we were saddened that four of our youth were graduating from high school and leaving for college, we were thrilled to welcome 14 new members. The Awards Banquet provided a time for reflection, accolades, goffiness, and fun.
We appreciate Draper City Mayor Darrell Smith taking the time to come and present the scholarships ot our outstanding council members.
And a huge thank you to the Banquet Committee for pulling off an amazing evening. The decorations were superb, the food was excellent, and the company was second to none!
Morgan exhibits the poise and dedication necessary to be a true leader. She inspires the members to succeed by following her example of dedication and hard work, coupled with a deserve to serve and to make the world a better place. Since our YC Room was taken over, she never got to have her picture up...so this will have to do:
