Hey Guys Quick Note.

This is Gilly... My phone is totally dead/broken/I don't know what the heck is wrong with it. So if something comes up and you can't come to Haunted Hallow or Meet the Candidates, call my house phone which is (801)572-9429. Also contact Joey! :)
Thanks!

OOPPS!

Meet the Candidates Night is THURSDAY! not wednesday! I repeat it's THURSDAY at 6:30 at city hall. Sorry about the confusion!!

October 20th Minutes

Every week I'm going to try to post the minutes of every meeting we have. This is for the benefit of those that missed the activity so they know what we discussed or learned. So make sure you check this out if you ever can't make it!

5:50-6:10 Stephanie Walker, who is in charge of the Haunted Hallows activity, talked about what the council will be doing to help out there. Sign ups went around to everyone.

6:15-6:45 Delaina talked about last years Close-Up trip to Washington D.C. Testimonials were given from the people that went last year and everyone said it was a great learning and fun experience. She talked about how this year we will go to D.C. as well as New York. So she said to be talking to your parents about if its something you're interested in.

Haunted Hallows & Meet the Candidates

Monday the 26th is Haunted Hallows at the Draper Historic Park. Last Tuesday sign ups went around so that everyone would know what activity they were helping with and at what time. Remember one shift was from 5:00-6:30 and the other was from 6:30-8:00. So make sure you come at the time you signed up for! Also if you weren't at DYC last Tuesday so you didn't sign up, but you would like to help out, just come during one of the shifts and I'm sure there will something you can do! Also remember to dress up so you can show your Halloween spirit :)

Then Wednesday the 28th we have our Meet the Candidates Night. We'll be meeting in the lobby of city hall at 6:30. Remember to be dressed nicely so we can represent the council well!

Scarecrow Festival Thank you!

I received this from our friends at Westridge Academy. Thank you to those of you who were able to help out at the Scarecrow Festival. You did a great job!

"Hi Gwendolyn, please tell your wonderful youth council thank you for coming and volunteering. What a great group of young men and women, they all did a great job and were very helpful. Thanks for all your support, we couldn't do it without you guys.
Thanks again!
Wendy"

Please make sure you let Mallorie Free know the hours you spent helping at the Scarecrow Festival so you get points for your service.

Thanks again for responding to the opportunity to serve. The youth of DYC are fantastic!

There is an opening for a new district leader.

You have exactly one week to get the email to me. Thanks everyone!

Food Handler's Permit

If you know you have already passed DYC's on-line food handler's permit exam or provided Linda Peterson with your existing permit information, you may ignore this blog post!

For all others, this was sent directly to the email address I have for you and am posting it here to make sure you are aware.

Linda Peterson needs a record of your food handler's permit. This is a requirement for being a member of DYC. If you already have your food handler's permit, please provide a copy to Linda. Otherwise, you will need to take an online exam. The information to do this is below.

I must stress, this is mandatory to complete. While this has been stated previously, with drop-dead dates, I haven't followed-up on it well enough. For this reason, you are being given until Tuesday, October 20th to pass the online exam, no harm, no foul. After this date, anyone without a permit will be put on probation. I don't want to do that, so PLEASE take the exam!

1. go to www.statefoodsafety.com
2. click on Utah on the giant map of the U.S.
3. click on Salt Lake County and then Draper Youth Council
4. follow the directions on that page :)

The course is 10 dollars and you don't have to do it all in one sitting, you can log on and off whenever you choose. The whole course should take you about an hour and a half. If you take the exam online, don't worry about getting Linda a copy or anything, she just checks online to run a report to see if you've passed the test.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

It is a pleasure serving with each of you!

Gwendolyn

Attendance Policy

One of your requirements as a member of DYC is consistent attendance to meetings and activities. You may have conflicts (being sick, other activities, unforseen occurrences, etc.)--this policy was made to provide flexibility.

Members are allowed a total of 8 excused absences during the period of June 1st, 2009 through May 30, 2010 or 3 unexcused absences during the same period. If the number of absences exceeds either, you will no longer be a member of the Draper Youth Council.

An excused absence is deifined simply as notifying the DYC Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem in advance that you will not be attending the meeting. This communicationn can be done through a text message, a phone call, an email, or the blog. If this communication occurs after the start of the meeting or activity or doesn't occur at all, the absence is unexcused.

If you have any questions about this policy, ask an advisor or an officer.
Thank You.

Attendance for October 6

If you don't tell Gilly and Joey that you cannot attend BEFORE the meeting, then your absense is UNexcused. When I say tell Gilly and Joey, I mean tell Gilly and Joey. Not your friend, just tell us. Okay? Okay. Here's the attendance....

Adopt a Grandparent on Tuesday!

Hi Everyone! This Tuesday, tomorrow, we are going to be meeting at the Wentworth for the Adopt a Grandparent activity. Please be there at 5:45 at the Wentworth on 11631 S 700 E (It's across the street, east, of the old Harmon's and Little Ceasar's). It will be fun - see you soon!

Here's the plan (Stan) for Tuesday, October 6.

Meeting at the Wentworth at 5:45 pm for the new Adopt-A-Grandparent Program! It'll be a blast and a half! :) The Wentworth is by the older Harmons. The address is: 11631 S 700 E Draper, UT. If you have any questions about the Wentworth, their phone number is (801) 523-9393. Let Joey and Gilly know if you won't be there so your absence can be excused.

PS: If you have questions about how many excused/unexcused absences you have, ask Gilly! If you text her, make sure it's after 2 pm and before 9 pm. Or just call her home phone! Thanks! :)
