Jubilee's New Hoppin' 'N Happenin' Youth Program

Youth and youth-friendly people have a reason to come to the 47th Annual Jubilee on October 10th & 11th, 2003. Why is this year different? Time's up! The answer is this year there's a huge push to get youth to come for the entire weekend. The Jubilee Chairpersons, Barry and Sandy Binge, have added a new branch to the Jubilee Committee. The Youth Committee, consisting of a Youth Coordinator, Sarah Riegelhaupt-Herzig, and a Youth Advisor, Mary Gingell, is expanding the Youth Program.

How will the new Youth Program work? The answer is simple. First, the old 2-hour "Youth Program" has been extended to three hours from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. This period is focused specifically on youth where we get to dance o the calling of SCVSDA's Top 10 Callers as well as the Featured Callers, Joe Saltel and Phil Farmer. During this time, kid-friendly people are welcome to dance with us on our turf.

In addition, the Jubilee has planned 3 dangle dances, where youth will be awarded dangles for participation. Also, youth will have our very own After-party Friday night. Join us for frog-themed games and dancing. We will even have a special visitor.

Saturday join us for lunch. Bring a bag lunch (or purchase lunch from our order form) and the Jubilee Committee will supply the drinks. In the evening, enjoy the Santa Maria BBQ offered this year for the first time half-priced for all youth up t 18 years old.

Of course the youth are also invited to participate in all dance programs throughout Jubilee. Jubilee will feature Phil Farmer, Joe Saltel, and the SCVSDA Top Ten Callers calling full Plus and Advanced Programs as well as Bob Malthouse on Rounds. Youth are welcome to meet one another in the special youth corner of each hall. Dancing starts Friday night at 7 p.m. and goes through 11 p.m. Saturday night.

Youth, youth, youth, support our new Youth Program on October 10th and 11th, 2003 at Jubilee!

[ This was the first major writing I did after becoming home-schooled. I did not have much experience with writing articles, though I was rather good at persuasive writing already, so this was an excellent learning experience. This was also part of a bigger learning experience in leadership, since I was running the youth program. Though that does not directly relate to the evolution of my writing, I think anything where you need to compose your thoughts, such as running this event, helps with writing capability in the deeper sense because being able to sort out what you are thinking about extends to all parts of life and writing is on the top ten things effected, in my opinion.]

From Viji actually:
My kids have been there and they enjoy it. It does seem like a nice persuasive writing and I applaud you for that and wish more kids become part of the youth group.
