Hello YSCon Colleagues!

Is it just me, or is everyone else in disbelief that it is suddenly August? Summer is flying by.

1.       This is a monthly reminder about our email list. We've had a lot of sharing lately, which is great. For anyone new to the list, you are welcome to post an announcement, question, resources, or quandary at any time. Don't be shy-we are here for each other, so don't hesitate to post your ponderings.

2.       Our monthly online meetings have been a bit bumpy in terms of scheduling and attendance. If you would like to review the schedule or notes from past meetings, you can access materials in this Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzKbkfyCqtQOZy1sYnhXZWJOOG8?usp=sharing

As a reminder, Janet from Ohio will host a meeting on Family Engagement on Thursday, August 31, at 1:00 pm ET, 12:00 pm CT, 11:00 am MT, 10:00 am PT. She is hosting via old-school conference call and Google Doc - as we've done a couple times before, we'll have the document open during our call, and can collaboratively take notes before, during, and after the call. The doc is here in our YSCON meetings folder:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z5J5a--9r1Ol_VcWx219j3OkVq07kpRESzR60w8zg5I/edit?usp=sharing

Instructions for calling in on August 31:
Call in # 1-877-820-7831
Participant passcode 137205#

3.       While most of our conversations are virtual, I hope that many of us will be in attendance at the forum organized by YALSA in November. My understanding is that every state has committed to sending one person, which is fabulous. The focus of this event will be Continuing Education for Teen Services, a topic that I know many of us are eager to discuss.

Thanks again to Oregon for hosting this email list, and welcome to the newer folks who have joined.

Keep up the great sharing and input-gathering!

Warmly,
Tessa
