Youth Group Elections (6/6)
Are you a natural leader? Do people look up to you? Would you rather work behind the scenes? Do you like to create things on the computer? Do you like to plan fun things? Would you like have fun leading while doing something that would look good for college?
If the answer was YES to any of these questions, then you want to run for the Board of RiPTY, the official youth group of the Reform Temple of Putnam Valley.
This exciting event is taking place on
Saturday, June 6 from 3 - 4:30-ish pm.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUN,
PLEASE COME AND VOTE FOR THOSE RUNNING.
The positions on our board for next year are:
President - The President oversees the other positions, works closely with the Youth Group Advisor (that's Stacy Shapiro), helps to plan and run events. If you are good at helping people work together as a team, this position is for you.
Programming Vice President - The Programming VP is in charge of planning our youth group events. You will have help from the board and other members, but you need to come up with ideas and ways to carry them out. So if you like to plan fun social events this position is for you.
Social Action Vice President - Here's where you can put all you have learned doing mitzvah projects in the temple or community service in the community to use. As a youth group we try to find ways to reach out to the community and be of service. If you like planning these kinds of events, and getting extra brownie points, this position is for you.
Membership and Communications Vice President - This position involves creating and sending out emails, advertising, and helping to expand our youth group membership. If you are creative on the computer, this position is for you.
Secretary - This person in this position will take notes at the youth group board meeting, send communications to the President and Youth Group Advisor as necessary and assist any of the VP's as needed. If you are organized and responsible, this position is for you.
The whole board will meet about once a month to plan events.
If you have any questions, would like to run, or if you'd like to participate but are unable to attend, please contact Stacy Shapiro before the elections.
Good luck!!!!

Thank you.
