Dates and Info for Our YMCA events

The place to see info on what is going on with the YMCA Youth in Government Program is www.alyig.org. When you register on their website, be sure to put down "Huntsville" for the delegation, and "Way Home Christian School" for the school (regardless of where you live and which homeschool group you are in -- that's who we're registered as).

We should get our case for the fall Youth Judicial/Mock Trial competition sometime in September. Pre-Youth Judicial will probably be Sunday afternoon, September 20 or September 27 in Anniston or Birmingham (more info on that when I have it). Pre-Youth Judicial is optional, but is a good idea for those who are new to the Judicial program. We will coordinate that once we have more information.

Registration for Judicial has already begun on the website, and the price goes up in October, so it is highly recommended that you register by the end of September.

They are doing something new this year, and only 52 experienced teams will be allowed to compete, so the sooner we get our teams firmed up and signed up, the better.

The competition itself is November 14 - 16, and we will head down on November 13. The cost that weekend,in addition to what we will have already paid, is usually about $100 per student. That includes the extra night in the hotel, extra meals before and after the meal ticket, and gas.

Youth Legislature is earlier this year than usual -- it will be held February 26 - 28. Registration for that begins right after Judicial.
