Hello TYH families!

The board is having an extra meeting on Monday March 6, 2023 at 6pm in the Omni Center Board room. The focus of this meeting is to work out details on DIBS, update all job descriptions within our organization, and reflect on/update our board structure as we prepare for elections for the coming year. Our next regular board meeting is Monday March 13, 2023 at 6pm in the Omni Center Board room.

Please join us if you are interested, and also take note of the need below.

We are in dire need of some energized minds who may want to help update or create a long list of documents. It can be as simple as finding something that looks great from another organization and mirroring it to our organization, something you've had in the past or with other sports organizations that you feel went well and would be helpful, or something entirely new. We can give out DIBS hours to those that venture to assist us in these things! As our organization has grown and our board has changed, we have found about 20 items that need updating or creating! If you have any interest in these documents or want more information, please reach out to Gabby at gabbyh22@gmail.com or reply to this email. Some of these will undoubtedly be bigger discussions involving the board however someone to get started and keep them moving would be extremely helpful!
