 FROM  THE  CLASS  OF  2017-­‐  David  Hulme,  Public  Relations  

   

The  Class  of  2017  had  a  productive  second  meeting  at  the  Nagle’s  house.    We  started  with  our  guest  speaker,  Troy  Linaker,  who  is  a  Senior  Portfolio  Manager  for  Wells  Fargo  Bank.    Troy  taught  us  all  how  to  manage  our  money  and  to  invest  it  in  the  smartest  ways  possible.    He  also  gave  us  steps  to  achieving  our  financial  goals.    Some  of  these  steps  included  planning  your  future,  making  short  and  long  term  goals,  assessing  your  needs  vs.  wants,  starting  as  quickly  as  possible,  and  sticking  with  your  plan  through  ups  and  downs.    A  very  important  lesson  he  taught  us  was  how  to  investigate  your  financial  options  and  to  closely  assess  the  risk  vs.  reward  of  an  investment.    For  example,  there  is  very  little  risk  in  investing  in  bonds,  but  you  won’t  make  as  much  money  as  someone  who  takes  the  risk  and  invests  in  equity.    I  thought  the  most  interesting  thing  was  that  you  can  invest  in  far  more  than  just  stocks.    You  can  invest  in  everything  from  hobbies  and  collectibles  such  as  wine  and  baseball  cards,  to  resources  such  as  gold.    There  is  a  whole  world  full  of  money  out  there,  and  Troy  Linaker  gave  us  very  valuable  tips  to  invest  our  money  in  the  right  places.  

At  our  business  meeting,  we  decided  to  do  a  beach  cleanup  in  Huntington  Beach  for  our  fall  philanthropy.    The  beach  cleanup  will  take  place  on  Saturday,  December  10th.    Our  protocol  lesson  was  all  about  achieving  and  maintaining  a  good  relationship  with  your  college  professors.    The  lesson  focused  mostly  on  earning  your  professors  respect  and  not  treating  them  in  a  casual  manner.    We  also  discussed  preparations  for  the  All-­‐League  meeting  and  we  all  received  our  parts  for  the  meeting.      Brandon  and  Justin  must  be  Irish  because  they  were  lucky  enough  to  win  the  raffle  for  the  second  time  in  a  row.    Finally,  we  finished  off  the  meeting  with  delicious  caramel  apples.

FROM  THE  CLASS  OF  2018  –  Colin  Villegas,  Public  Relations    

On  Sunday,  November  13th  the  Class  of  2018  enjoyed  their  grade  level  meeting  at  the  Galentine  home.      Our  business  meeting  was  conducted  by  our  class  president,  Braedon  Schroeder  and  those  that  attended  our  class  philanthropy,  The  Challenger  Classic  at  Anaheim  Stadium  shared  how  the  day  went.    Everyone  had  a  great  time  and  enjoyed  helping  kids  with  disabilities  enjoy  a  great  day  of  playing  baseball.    Next,  our  guest  speaker  presented  information  to  us  about  preparing  for  college  and  making  sure  we  are  doing  everything  now  that  will  help  us  get  into  the  college  that  we  want.    It  was  important  for  all  of  us  to  pay  attention  to  as  juniors.

FROM  THE  CLASS  OF  2019,  Chris  Hallinan,  Public  Relations  

The  NLYM  Class  of  2019's  second  grade  level  meeting  was  held  at  the  Cumming's  residence  on  November  13th.  As  always,  we  followed  protocol  and  recited  the  national  anthem.  Our  speaker  for  today  was,  Mike  Hallinan,  a  police  officer  for  the  City  of  Irvine  with  over  20  years  of  experience  in  law  enforcement.  He  discussed  how  narcotics  and  alcohol  have  a  negative  effect  on  our  body  and  the  dangers  of  them.  One  of  the  most  eye-­‐opening  points  he  made  was  the  fact  that  there  are  drugs  out  there;  even  in  our  schools;  but  taught  us  to  stay  on  the  right  track  in  life  and  never  get  involved  with  any  of  that  stuff.  After  our  speaker,  the  officers  for  our  class  discussed  what  upcoming  events  we  have  planned.  Once  again,  we  had  a  very  productive  meeting.          

FROM  THE  CLASS  OF  2020,  Nicholas  Meneses,  Public  Relations    

In  our  second  grade  level  meeting,  we  started  off  by  agreeing  on  our  next  two  service  events.  We  also  learned  that  our  class  would  be  watching  "Elf"  the  play  for  our  cultural  activity.  After  the  meeting  we  had  a  personal  trainer  who  came  in  and  discussed  topics  on  health.  He  spoke  about  the  macronutrients  protein,  carbs,  and  fats  and  also  talked  about  ways  athletes  can  perform  in  better  ways.      

PROTOCOL/CULTURAL  REPORT    

TABLE  MANNERS  

 Table  manners  are  the  rules  of  etiquette  used  while  eating.  Different  cultures  observe  different  rules  for  table  manners.  Each  family  or  group  sets  its  own  standards  for  how  strictly  these  rules  are  to  be  enforced.    It  is  a  new  tear,  so  time  to  brush  up  on  the  basics  of  polite  behavior  while  attending  any  meal  …  here  are  ten  tips  to  help!  1.       Place  your  napkin  in  your  lap  immediately  upon  sitting  down  –  unfold  it  while  it  is  in  your  lap.    

When  finished  or  excusing  yourself  from  the  table,  place  napkin  neatly  to  the  left  of  your  plate.  2.       Turn  off  your  phone  and  keep  it  out  of  sight.    Focus  on  the  people  at  the  table  with  you.  3.       Wait  for  everyone  to  be  served  before  eating.

4.       Use  a  knife  and  fork  to  cut  meat,  and  cut  your  food  one  piece  at  a  time.  5.       Chew  with  your  mouth  closed  and  eat  quietly  –  no  smacking  or  crunching.  6.       Don’t  reach  across  the  table  –  always  ask  the  person  closest  to  pass  the  item  you  need.  7.     Don’t  talk  with  your  mouth  full  –  if  you  have  more  than  a  few  words  to  say,  swallow  your  food,  

rest  your  fork  on  your  plate,  and  speak  before  you  resume  eating.  8.       Don’t  pick  your  teeth  at  the  table.  9.       Keep  elbows  off  the  table  while  eating;  however,  when  no  utensils  are  being  used,  it  is  

acceptable  to  put  your  elbows  on  the  table.  10.     Say  “Thank  You”,  “Please”,  and  “Excuse  Me”  -­‐  these  small  words  are  magic  and  should  be  used  

liberally.    Joanne  Hulme  VP,  Protocol/Cultural

PHILANTHROPY  REPORT    

Class  of  2020  volunteered  last  Sunday  to  clean  up  Newport  Beach.    Attached  are  some  pics  from  Ani  and  a  short  excerpt  from  the  Internet  on  who  organized  the  beach  clean  up  with  us.    

“The  Surfrider  Foundation  is  a  non-­‐profit  grassroots  organization  dedicated  to  the  protection  and  enjoyment  of  our  world’s  oceans,  waves  and  beaches.  Founded  in  1984  by  a  handful  of  visionary  surfers  in  Malibu,  California,  the  Surfrider  Foundation  now  maintains  over  50,000  members  and  90  chapters  worldwide.”    Jason  said  "...it  gave  me  a  better  sense  of  how  my  daily  life  can  affect  the  ocean,  for  example,  I  learned  how  all  those  plastic  bags  from  the  grocery  stores  were  very  harmful  to  ocean  life."

This  event  is  open  to  the  entire  chapter  and  will  accommodate  up  to  100  people.  We  are  hoping  to  fill  the  shift  entirely  with  NLYM  members  and  families.    The  parent  to  student  ratio  is  1:10,  so  for  every  10  minors  (anyone  17  years  old  and  younger)  they  ask  that  there  be  at  least  one  adult  present.    So  moms,  if  you  are  available  please  let  us  know.  

Signups  will  be  open  exclusively  to  the  young  men  (and  our  10  chaperones)  on  Chapter  Web  through  the  end  of  January.    If  at  that  time  we  have  open  spots  we  would  like  to  have  families  fill  in  the  extra  slots.  A  final  count  is  due  to  the  center  by  Feb  28,  2017.  Volunteer  Permission  slips  are  mandatory  for  everyone  and  can  be  found  under  the  files  tab.
