The educational aspect of the
SPJST Youth Program is an integral part of local youth club activities. Nowhere is this emphasis more evident than in the annual Youth Achievement Day (YAD)and Royalty contests held at the district and state level. Changes in Store
"Youth Achievement Days are just around the corner," says State Youth Director Melanie Zavodny, noting that there are some "exciting changes to the program this year." These changes include the opportunity for young people to enter five craft categories instead of four as in past years.
"Photography" has also been added to the craft category. This year, too SPJST State Royalty competition and State YAD will both be on August 14, as opposed to two separate days. To participate in the 2001 YAD competition, a young person must have attended a majority of youth club meetings during the youth year which runs from June 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001. Any young person (previous member or new certificate) who initially joins the youth club must attend the majority of meetings to participate in YAD. In lodges that do not have youth clubs, the young person may attend the adult lodge meetings. I am wishing you much success on your YAD projects. If you have any questions or need any information, please contact your District Youth Counselor listed on page two or contact State Youth Director Melanie Zavodny at the SPJST Home Office. The 2001 District YAD schedule is as follows: District One Sunday, July 22 at Lodge 13, Dime Box District Two Sunday, July 15 at Lodge 47, Seaton District Three Sunday, June 24 at Lodge 66, Waco District Four Sunday, July 8 at Parish Hall in Wall District Five Sunday, July 1 at Lodge 196, Houston-West District Six Sunday, July 8 at Inez Community Center
High Ideas District Youth Achievement Days will be here soon, providing SPJST youth club members with an opportunity to showcase their skills and talents. Pictured above, youngsters examine entry at 2001 State YAD.
