The Youth Activity Center, better known as the YAC, will be open to convention attendees, ages 7-14, at this year's ACB convention in Houston.
The YAC will be located in the Adam's Mark Hotel, across the hall from general sessions, staffed by volunteers and will be open to registered participants, from 8:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., Monday through Friday of convention week.
Registration will open from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 30 and be available during operating hours Monday-Friday. The registration fee is $5 per participant.
A game table, reading corner, craft area and other fun, lively activities are in the works for YAC attendees to enjoy each morning. A Pizza/Fun Night is being planned in conjunction with the banquet on Friday night. There are many other surprises which will be taking place for our young people!
For the YAC to be a success, we need you! Please consider spending an hour or two of your convention week as a volunteer in the YAC. By sharing your time and talent with the kids of our ACB family, you will play an important role in keeping this vital activity going strong, and we guarantee you'll have fun too! Also, to help offset the cost of this program, we are looking to ACB members and affiliates for sponsorship. If you or your affiliate might be interested in sponsoring one of the YAC events (through financial means or volunteer time), or if you have any questions concerning the YAC, please contact Cindy Burgett, convention committee member, via e-mail at [email protected], by phone at (360) 698-0827, or by writing to her at 6686 Capricorn Ln. NE, Bremerton, WA 98311.
