Here are November time slots. These are optional, but if you can do International Games Day on the 19th I would appreciate the help.

TASK Changes Pending
The following will be old news to those who were at Monday's meeting, but for the others:
We will have a huge overhaul to TASK in the next couple of months. TASK will now be comprised of an Executive Committee (8 teens in High School) and smaller sub-committees (gaming, life skills, readers, etc.-more on this later). It is my hope (and the expectation of the other members) that this will be a better way to play off of every teen's skill-set and interests.
And the thought of that makes me super-excited.
The main volunteering component will split off as we resurrect the Volunteen Program.
Both of these will be treated as separate entities, so you will need to reapply for either/both when new applications begin to arise. For some of you that have multiple months as inactive members (not including those that have been excused by me for other reasons) will need to come to that interview prepared to tell me why this time will be different with you being able to fulfill the requirements expected of you.
The new TASK will have a vastly different approach to what we have been doing, but we are going to give it a shot throughout the next year. And I'm sure we will all be exhausted and stressed as we begin to go through some of these changes.
Bear with me and be prepared to give your honest feedback as we go on-remember this is your group and you need to feel free to make it into what you want/need.
I'll be back with updates as I have them.

Welcome New Members!
We just wanted to say a quick hello to our 5 new members!
We are thrilled to have you as a part of TASK and look forward to the coming year!
Quick reminder: Don't forget to come up with 2 ideas for the teen department. They can be practical ("I think we should put a sign up in the teen area so everyone knows what it is.") or impractical ("I think we should be a second floor on the library that will be just for teens.") or illogical ("I think we should build a teleportation portal that will take us to our new teen library . . . on the moon.").
Also, remember to be thinking about how we market our teen services/programs to your fellow teens! We already had one great idea to spread the word through local youth groups!
And also, sorry for the delay in posting for a while...
I apparently forgot how to use the internet....
Don't worry I'm better now.
Please check in so I know you haven't forgotten about me! Don't forget you can also follow this blog by email so you can make sure not to miss any future posts.

Updates
If you haven't signed up for Remind (and that is many of you because out of 11 members I only have 4 people signed up) you need to do so immediately.
And remember that you should also be signing up for your volunteer times. Remember that we have our planning meeting for the summer on Monday the 18th and I'm estimating that to be up to 2 hours. So, if you cannot do any of the other times than you need to sign up for the meeting!
[Of 11 members only 2 have signed up for times so far.]
Remember that you have agreed to these time commitments (also program attendance), but many of you are quickly reaching inactive status. If there is some reason that I am not seeing you then you need to let me know right away.
