Hey guys, Her Eminence our president suggested I post the minutes of our YAC meeting here; you know, maintaining good transparent YAC-Wesley relations =D. Please feel free to comment and make general suggestions! Thanks!

[Begin transcript]

William & Mary Wesley Foundation Young Adult Council Meeting
The Seventeenth Hour of the Twenty-Fifth Day of April in the Year of Our Lord Two-Thousand Seven, and of our beloved denomination the two-hundred and seventy-eighth (give or take a few)

Meg brought food! David opened with prayer!

DEVOTIONS: Isaiah 43; thinking about new YAC and Wesley in general.
David - "WHEN we have trouble," not IF
Aaron - Feels like YAC is more participative now.
Laura - New to YAC..loves it =D
Melissa - Smaller YAC is definitely the first sign of a new direction (a good kind of new)
Meg - Trial and error; it's okay to mess up.
David - WE'RE ALL J'S
Jenn - Is becoming more of a P
David - Embrace the wilderness; it was there that the Hebrews were closest to God, because they depended on Him constantly.
Meg - Let's continue to "catch on fire."
Laura - Too excited to sit still
Aaron - Can't wait for new freshman to come


EVALUATIONS

Sno-to-Go: Alice, Meg, and Melissa went from YAC; it was fun, more people could have been MORE fun!

Kairos: Alice (went well, approximately 47 dozen cookies made at the House)

Movie Night: Some disappointment in the "short-notice change" and in movie choice. Other assorted issues with the leading-up to the movie night.
YAC noted that the decision was made almost five days in advance of SNP. There WAS a communications breakdown, but YAC did NOT make this decision at the last minute, nor without due consideration. The consensus was that a lecture/discussion of heavy social and theological issues was not what our community needed in the wake of the week's events. A night of mindless frivolity enjoyable on brain-autopilot was the objective, though the movie WAS borderline in appropriateness. While flexibility is a key priority, YAC will not be in the habit of changing scheduled SNP's, and certainly not without making sure due notice is given to the entire Wesley community.


NEW JANK

Small Groups: Talk to people at dinners about what they might like to see next year. Mayhap we could move towards accountability-type groups rather than strict Bible studies??? Jenn happens to like that idea.

Operation Taco: Needs to be rescheduled with LDOC to THU-3-MAY. Times need to be restructured to reflect 1h 20m classes. Decided to catch people coming out of 11 o'clock classes (at 12:20) and 12:30 classes (at 1:50pm).

Creation Bible Study: Aaron's all set. Wanted input on direction of study: Earth Day?? Evolution?? Decided to focus on human's role in God's creation. Where do we fit in?

Senior Banquet: All set, Lepadg is handling RSVP's.

Planning Retreat: May 16-18; stay relatively close. Might finish on evening of the 17th. MIGHT start earlier on Wednesday.


Melissa closed with prayer!
