After discussing the rooms with the facility that we are staying in, it turns out that the rooms are a bit larger than originally thought! So the powers that be (hail the bus driver & chaperones) decided we could put 5 per room. That means two less rooms are being rented and you will have 3-4 others staying in a room (plus a chaperone). The adults like this better because there will be less rooms to "supervise" and you should like it better because it means more youth to stay awake with? Chat with? throw pillows at?
DON'T FORGET THAT YOU NEED TO BRING ALL YOUR OWN BEDDING AND TOWELS!
Less thant two weeks to go! Are you freaking out yet?

Auctions Around the World
Our final Fundraiser is on it's way in less than two weeks, and it's gonna be awsome!! It's on May 19th starting at 4 and running until 8. We need youth there from 2:30 onward to set up and expect to be there until 9. (Breaks allowed)
The title of this event is called AUCTIONS AROUND THE WORLD, featuring over 5 different kinds of auctions from YCBay auctions (run by Colette & using low tech runners instead the internet); to silent auctions that end when a candle burns out (ooh the suspense!); to loud boistrous English Auctions. Many parent have been donating wonderful new items for the auction, and if you have any items get them in to Joanna. We have our Wonder Woman talking to everybusiness in town and even some out of town for auction items and they are rolling in!
Jerrilyn wants all youth with talent to start planning something for entertainment, so get out your rusty accordians, your dusty juggling balls or your crusty dance shoes and start warming up! Or get out your unicycles DJ and warm up your musical fingers DR, KB, LM and tune your instruments!
This event has two days worth of "points" for those who really need the extra push towards making their fundraising goal. Just like the bottle drive if you attend both days you get twice what you would if you attended one day. So what's day two? It's actually the Thurdsay previous May 17th. We will be delivering flyers door to door all over town. If you can't make the 19th then plan on delivering flyers to get your fundraising points! And hey think of this: the more people know about the event the bigger the turn-out and the more money you all get!!! With this being our last fundraiser of four, lets end with a bang!

Bring your own Sleeping Bag
So here is the skinny for all youth and chaperones regarding the sleeping quarters for this trip.
There are two single beds in each room. Two people in each room will have to sleep on the floor or people will have to share single beds, which would get squishy. Everyone will have to bring bedding along (pillows, sleeping bags, sheets if you need and a foamy or something if they are sleeping on the floor. The facility is providing NO LINENS. (So pack accordingly including towels and facecloths if you want them!! )
We have 12 rooms booked, 45 bodies including all the youth and chaperones. IT'S GONNA BE COSY!! The Bus Driver and Chaperones will be dividing up y'all into groups per room, if you wanna plead your case now is the time to do it, but no promises!

Ten Commandements of YC!
Each year YC gets bigger and better and in order for everyone to fully enjoy this event there are a few rules that need to be followed very closely. These rules ensure the safety of all those who are attending and provide the chaperones the ability to take corrective action when necessary.
Please be advised that you are required to follow these rules and failure to do so may cause you to be sent home early at your own expense.
The 10 Commandments (YC Style)
-Hail to the Bus Driver.
-Hail to the Chaperones
-Absolutely no alcohol or drugs.
-Respect other people’s property (this includes the bus, rooms and other’s belongings)
-Be inclusive
-No nasty talk about others ever
-Be prompt for all gatherings
-No ditching people
-First time obedience to all direction (includes bus clean up)
-No sneaking off, no public displays of affection, BE RESPECTFUL
-Have fun, laugh lots, scream quietly on the bus
I have read and understand the above commandments. If I fail to follow the rules I realise that I can be sent home immediately.

About the Meeting!
A huge thanks to everyone who attended the YC meeting at the Library. Thanks to all of the parents who showed up to get the info first hand. We had 52 people in attendance which is our largest number of people at a
meeting so far.
Everyone heard the words of wisdom spoken by the "Bus Driver" Hail the Bus Driver!!! Followed by the signing of the YC Ten or Eleven commandments and the handing out of where everyone is at financially. Thank you to everyone for participating fully. I can tell it is going to be a very interesting trip. DJ and the bus driver already got into it in the Library. Tsk tsk boys!
I hope everyone is ready for the auction/cheesecake/entertainment/family day that will be held on the 19th (sat) at 1600 hrs or 4 pm. We will need people there early to help set up and get things ready as well as there will be flyers to put in everyone's door, so lots of work for everyone!
(if you are wondering what this letter is talking about the ten commandments will be published next!)

Two Weeks of Fundraising left to go!
In a few days you all will know where you are at with fundraising, we hope for most of you it will be great news, because you have worked hard.
I just wanted to encourage you again, there are many groups of youth from TR and from out of town who have taken the initiative to do bottle drives and have done really well for themselves. Some have raised almost all their food money with one bottle drive or with that and one other job they have done.
Congratulations to AL, JS, MW & SW for raising some extra cash with a bottle drive of your own. Also to DR, LP & EP for their bottle drive work and for parents that helped them.
To the out of town group: Congratulations to SW & EW for your amazing bottle drive (you really kicked butt!) and to the Dawson Girls who did an outstanding job between the five of them with their bottle drive too.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO STILL FUNDRAISE! We want all fundraising done by the 19th and so there is time left to get to work if you want to. The volunteers are planing one last major fundraiser and we are hoping it will make enough money for those who need it, for those who participate. The thrusday meeting is an important one, be there and find out!
