NEWS FROM ACYO

Feb 19 2010
The Central Council of the ACYO-WD is proud to announce four new
chapters that have formed throughout the state of California: Santa
Clarita, St. John San Francisco Senior ACYO, Rancho Mirage, and St.
Andrew Cupertino. We have met with all of these chapters and are
thrilled to see the eagerness and excitement in their eyes to create
active ACYO members for their specific regions.
The Central Council of the ACYO-WD kicked off the fiscal year by having
the first meeting during their CC Retreat which was held at Hye Camp,
shortly following the Annual General Assembly. During this successful
meeting, the executive discussed future events and fundraising ideas,
as well as brainstorming and addressing current problems that can
be resolved within the organization. After the retreat, we attended
the St. Mary Yettem Lock-In and supported their chapter, along with
other chapters that were there. During the month of January, Central
Council traveled to all different regions and held mini retreats to
meet with and encourage most of the ACYO chapters.
During these meetings we reviewed the Logic Model that Der Avedis
introduced and applied them to each chapter, focusing on improvements
that will help each church community. These successful mini retreats
will jump start each chapter in focusing and preparing themselves for
a successful year. Also in the month of January, both St. Paul Fresno
and St. Apkar Arizona chapters held luncheons, while Burbank and St.
Gregory Pasadena held bible studies. In addition, Burbank held a
Christmas/ New Years party, which was very successful and had high
attendance.
As the Central Council of the ACYO-WD, we are prepared to lead these
ACYO chapters while focusing on Worship, Education, Fellowship, and
Service. With these four pillars in perspective, we are confident
that this ACYO-WD Fiscal year will be very successful.
