Leadership Workshop
I am excited to report we plan to hold the required Leadership Workshop this coming Saturday – 02/11 from 9 to 3. At this time we have ten confirmed attendees. We have room for up to 20. Is there anyone who you want me to invite? Is there anyone outside of the coalition that we should include, even at this late date? Please call me at 928 565 0160 cell / text.

Lunch will be provided by Lin’s Little China (Thank You!! Michele and family).

Updates
I am pleased to report that our DFC-Me Report is substantially complete. We also received approval for the Arizona Youth Survey-16 questions by the DFC Evaluators.

The mall installed the remaining baseboards last week.

We have a volunteer who has been re-sanding and re-painting the walls! I think it looks great!

We have successfully posted a request for funds with Walmart Foundation and The Safeway Foundation. We have been provided a verbal ‘yes’ from the LHC-Walmart store manager; he wants to support our upcoming Youth Summer Series. We are hopeful the local Albertson’s will support the expansion of our youth leadership skills building.

We will be hosting the following groups in our facility:
Wednesday, 02/15 – Arizona Children’s Association will be using our facility to conduct a staff training from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm

Thursday, 02/16 – Veteran’s United will be using our facility for a community meeting from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm

Leadership Workshop – February 11th

/in , /by

Good afternoon,
As many of you are aware, we have a grant requirement to hold a leadership retreat or workshop this February. Coalition leadership has been handing out invitation letters and cards. If you have not been personally contacted, please let me make amends – I will call you and deliver an invitation! YOU are important to our success in Years 4 and 5 of this funding.

Our goal is to have 10 adults and at least 5 youth attend this dynamic leadership event; we can host up to 22 in comfort. Our morning will be a time to get to know one-another and learn how we communicate. We will have lunch brought in (Schlotzsky’s or Lin’s Little China). The afternoon will be a time to focus on crafting a new Mission and Vision for the Young Adult Development Association of Havasu (YADAH).

I’d like to invite those of you planning to attend to e-mail me with the number of people you will be bringing on Saturday, 02/11.

Thank you for your service to the youth of Lake Havasu City and thank you for committing a Saturday to fulfill a grant requirement. We appreciate your time.

Coalition Meeting and Announcements – February

/in , /by

Please mark your calendar for our Monday, February 13, 2017 Coalition Meeting. Also, please invite a friend or colleague.

Announcements
POSTPONED – Digital Story Telling / Script Writing / 02/4/17 (this Saturday)
We have 0 (zero) youth sign-ups for this event. When we hold our 02/13 meeting, I will have the youth review their calendars and determine their 2-best dates. I will then speak with the script writer to see if there is a match for holding this at a later date. I will ask the youth if it would be feasible to do one after school or if we will keep it on a weekend.

Announcements
Arizona Youth Survey – 2016 / LHC Zip Codes
We received the AYS16 for Lake Havasu City Zip Codes. We are in the process of printing the pages and compiling a report for your review. Look for this as an agenda item in March.

REQUESTS
To date, we have only received 1 (one) RSVP for our mandatory Leadership Training Workshop on Saturday, 02/11/17. This is a grant deliverable. We welcome your RSVP’s OR suggestions on how to accomplish this task. We are required to bring together at least 10 coalition members and some of our youth. HELP? ADVICE?

I hope to receive your thoughts and see you at the 02/13 meeting. Thank you for your service to youth in Lake Havasu City.
