TYL Team Meeting -- June 7, 2007

Hi!

Here is the agenda for our next TYL meeting, as well as the tentative camping trip schedule. Please post any comments, suggestions or questions you might have! Thanks everyone...

AGENDA:

TYL Team Meeting
June 7, 2007
Lac-Brome Youth Centre
6:30 p.m.

1. Camping Trip
a. August 13 – August 16, 2007, Aux Berges Dominique Savio in Hatley – will you be able to make it?
b. Schedule: Please see attached schedule…do you have any comments? questions? suggestions?
c. Based on the tentative schedule, the TYL will be responsible for: one (or more) ice-breaker game(s), planning and cooking 2 lunches for the group, one skill swap session (each youth centre or group will present one skill), organizing 1 set of evening activities (campfire songs, stories, etc.) and planning and cooking supper for the entire group one night. These tasks can easily be split up between the different youth centres, groups, etc.… Does this sound ok to you? What would you be interested in taking on (other than your ice-breaker game and skill swap activity)?
d. Activity day (FUN day) on August 15: Since the TYL team is hosting this event, where would you like the group to go?
e. What kinds of workshops are you interested in participating in: team building, workshops on youth engagement, etc.?
f. Would you like to do something on August 16th (P.E.I. will probably either be gone or leaving early…): a project? a workshop? Another activity? Or should we end the trip on the morning of August 16th?
g. Money: Since travel will be a huge expense for P.E.I., I suggest that we all help out to cover the costs of the supplies we will need for our trip and the entrance fees for our activity day. My suggestion would be for each youth centre or group to raise 100-200$ (or more if you’d like!) through some sort of fundraiser. Is this something that you are able to do? Would individual fundraisers (organized by each youth centre) or one or two larger fundraisers (organized by the TYL team) work better for you?
h. Other comments, suggestions, questions, etc. about camping trip


2. Entrepreneurial Approach Workshop
a. June 12 or 14th, 2007, with CEDEC and Elizabeth Kater: Will you be able to attend?

3. Other Workshops
a. Fundraising workshop: When would you prefer to have this – during the summer, in the fall? What time would be best for you: morning, afternoon, evening…?

4. Other suggestions, things you want to talk about…

5. Next Meeting?
