Y.E.S. Annual Business Meeting

Our annual business meeting will be held Wednesday January 10th at the Yakima Valley College Conference Center Room “B” with doors opening & registration starting at 6:30 pm. This year we will be changing the agenda around as we have several students and faculty coming from out of town and they need to get back on the road early. So, we will start the meeting with our usual “Potluck” meal followed by presentations from the faculty and students that have been recipients of our scholarships. This year we are expecting representatives from Washington State University, Central Washington University, Walla Walla Community College, and Yakima Valley College, weather permitting.

After the presentations we will open our business meeting with an approval of last year’s annual meeting minutes followed by the financial report for 2023 by Pam Larin. After that we will hear an update from the membership committee, then a presentation from our social media consultant, Cheyenne Needham, on our Facebook and Instagram presence. Lastly a review of last year’s monthly events. At which time we will open up the floor for questions, discussion, likes and dislikes. We will finish with a brief overview of some of our plans for 2024 and then the presentation of the slate of board members for 2024, followed by a vote to approve.

We should have plenty of wine left from prior months events. We are asking everyone to bring their favorite Potluck dish to share with the group, either a main dish, side dish, appetizer, or dessert. You will also need to bring one wine glass for your use. The cost of the event will be $15 per person. Hope to see you all in the New Year!
