January 28-Legislature Day
We need to know by Dec. 31st whether or not you are going so we can register our group! We will spend the day at the Capitol, sitting in on committees, watching the House from the gallery, and also the Senate. We will have lunch with our legislators (Sen. Stephenson, Rep. Hughes, Sen. Niederhauser, Rep. Dougall) and the Governor. It is a fun, educational day!

As soon as you get back in school, start talking to teachers about being gone that day, and get your work done and turned in before the 27th. If you have any trouble getting an excused absence, please let me know and I'll work with the administration to get it approved like we did last year.

March 12-March 14
Our annual Leadership Conference at USU is one of the highlights of the year! Visit www.ayc.usu.edu/htm/calendar/eventID=3967 for more information and details. We need to register as soon as possible or the good rooms will be taken! Your DL should be calling you for a head count this week.

Draper Youth Council is the best!!!

Tonight at Christmas in the Heart of Draper

We Need Your Help!
Christmas in the Heart of Draper

Hi Everyone! Please be at Draper City Hall at 5:00 tonight to help get ready for Christmas in the Heart of Draper. We need as many kids as possible to be there that early so that you can help decorate and get your assignments for the evening. Remember, this is a mandatory event! Tonight will run from 5:00 until probably around 9:00. The event ends at about 8:30, but we will need everyone there to stay and help clean up and put everything away.

Can't wait to see you all there - this will be a fun evening! If you have any questions, contact your district leader or Amanda, Brandon or an Advisor.

Draper Youth Council,

Due to the weather, we will not be able to paint and make other outdoor preparations for Christmas in the Heart of Draper at City Hall tonight (Dec. 2nd). We will instead be meeting at Natalie Boman’s house located at 13958 S. Wild Hay Cir. In South Mountain. Her house is off of Rambling Rd and Vestry. From Rambling, turn south on Vestry, and take an immediate right (West) on Hickenlooper. Wild Hay is the first circle on the left.

Parents, please make arrangements for your youth to be dropped off at 5:45 and picked up at 6:45.

Thanks!
