Ellen

12:23am CDT Wednesday 5 June 2002

Before going to Dallas to hang out with youth and attend CYA meeting, I talked to Ellen and Jessica. Ellen is cute! She said, "I think I'm moved in next to you for a reason."

Turns out that Ellen used to be a DJ at KTRU, and she knows the super cute Sarah Pitre.

I haven't seen her since that Friday night (it's Tuesday now) I don't know if she has not fully moved in yet or what.

That's fast.

Josephine: 'I heard you sleep 1/3rd of your life.'

'Well, myabe not a third...'

Discussion now of Ways to Support Advisors

* Be intentional at first so it's built into the culture

* Need to have advisors register

* Have a signup list at checkin; "are you new?"

* Expand this beyond the rally: "Steve will be your mentor this year"

* CYA needs to write a script to contact the new advisor

--------

Advisor orientation at rallies:

* Maybe have a morning meeting on Saturday to orient those who came in
  late.

* Advisor meeting in the AM, Instead of at night, because it's the new
  advisors who we need to talk to anyway.

* set up a spirit committee to introduce at the adult meeting.
  Recommend: 2 local youth and 2 YAC youth and 1 local adult and 1
  district adult.

* we think new advisors should know: look up difference between
    "advise" and "lead" shared ministry

(((( Communication: how to publicize what great things were done at
     the rally? what was social action?  what was favorite game?  who
     did you meet?

     "Meet the Advisor" column in local newsletters  

     Send your youth to SWUUSI: "don't sweat it; we will"  )))))
