MYC Agenda 2/27

Begin with an apology:

I want to apologize because I actually believe that I am not being the best leader I can be at all times and so I want to say that I will continue to put push myself to put more effort. I hope that I have not been seeming like I am not willing to help and make life better.

Hello Everyone! It is so nice to see you all and for those who I saw at the Mayor’s Youth Summit, I am so happy that I got to see you there! I just wanted to make a note that for today, we are going to stick to the agenda for today. I believe that last time we spoke and had a meeting, it went to out of focus and although I appreciate all of the amazing ideas that we were able to come up with, it felt confusing when trying to solidify the plans that we had formulated. Also, when it comes to all decision making, it should take us 5 - 10 minutes max to find out certain things for the event. I am only rushing these decisions because we need to stay on task and be concise instead of talking about the same topic for too long. Before we get into any discussions, I know that a majority of you guys went to break and I would love to know a great thing that happened to you guys over break so that we can start tis meeting off positively before we get into the nitty gritty of everything. I will read the time frame for the meeting and we will have to stick at it. I do not want to be a stickler about it, but Nafisa and I will try to run this meeting more than we had last time.

So now, we will begin the finalization of each of the sections that Nafisa and I have highlighted as the most important. (Please note that once the actual discussion begins, I will be keeping note of the time and I will also be taking notes for this meeting.

  • What time do we want to have out event? (We talked about it a lot last time but it was not a definitive answer.) —> Also, what time do we actually want to have the event

  • Let’s move on to the decor that we want for the event? (What colors do we want to add to our event. Do we want to have the same colors as our flier and do we want to do Ossie’s idea about the green ribbon to represent mental health awarenes? —> Do we also want to do balloons and ribbons and how do we want that to work?

  • What food do you want to eat? (What have we confirmed for Grace? Do we want appetizers or do we believe that pizza is a better option?)

  • As for the big raffle that we want to do at the end, we have decided to have the cheapest AirPods, a bag of mini skincare for people and we should have third prize.

    • Do we want to have prizes in the little workshops (if we did want prizes like Nasra had pitched before, we would need 9 of them and they would need to be small. (ex: stress balls, fidgets, mirrors or candy)

  • As for the workshops, an exciting piece of news is that Richard and I will be meeting with the BC students later and we will be able to meet them and this will be precursor to the other workshops that we want to do.

If we still have time, we will able to talk more about the logistics of the event and more of the nitty gritty on other things that should take place in the meeting.

  • For example, we need to have a time where we are “checking in and checking out”

  • Are we doing raffle tickets or numbers?

  • Note: In order to get the word out there, we will need to know what is being posted on our social media and we need to actually start posting even before April and then we should have the posters done by beginning of April

  • What factors within our experiment should we keep in mind that we might want to shift or have backup plan for? (Ex: Speaker; if we do not get her, then do we want a backup?)

These are all the things that I wanted to talk about and I want to thank you guys fore being so patient and understanding with us just wanting to have a more straightforward meeting this time around. We truly do love you guy’s insights, we just need to make sure that the project is actually moving! Thank you for taking the time on a random Tuesday to talk about this and thank you for your commitment and I hope you guys have an amazing night!
