[Youth-outreach] National Convention

[Thorpe, Mary Jo]

Hi all,
    As some of you may remember, last year during convention, we held a
meeting for all of those individuals with interest in , or who were
already facilitating youth outreach programs in their states.  We are
beginning to put together ideas for next summer's convention.  I know
that in the midst of wrapping presents and pulling out sweaters, the
last thing you are probably thinking of is convention in July. But, its
time for us to start submitting request for meeting times and spaces.
So with that, I would like to get some feedback from you on your
thoughts of another meeting of this nature.  
1.  Would you be interested in attending a meeting about youth outreach
again? 
2.  With the shortened convention schedule, would you prefer to attend
an early morning meeting or evening (after session) meeting time? 
3.  What kind of meeting/gathering would you like to see?  (I.e.
gathering for breakfast, networking and sharing of ideas, formal
presentation of different resources or program ideas, etc.) 
4.  What other comments/suggestions do you have about this idea? 
 
I would appreciate hearing your feedback as soon as possible.  Please
take a moment to reply to this for me so that we can do our best to
ensure that we are addressing the needs of our members.  
Happy Holidays!
 
Mary Jo Thorpe
