We've got some new officers and some returning officers. We are sad to say goodbye to 2009 officers Alex, Sam and Jake who are 19 now and must leave the SCYL. We look forward to seeing them at Transitions retreats, Convention and summer camps.

We have a great group of officers elected to serve in 2010. Nina, returns for a second term as SCYL President. Nina was an inspirational and amazingly positive leader last year and we are so excited to have her back again. She is busy applying to colleges and singing (Nina is excited to play the lead villain in her high school production of “Once Upon a Mattress”). She is very involved in church retreats, camps and Convention so your almost sure to meet her if you attend one of these events. Watch out, her happy, playful spirit is contagious!


Janice and Joseph are new officers. Janice has been very active in her participation at Almont Summer Camp, Convention and retreats. We are so pleased to have her finally as an officer! She is a gifted musician and expressive conversationalist. You’re sure to get an interesting story and lots of questions when talking with Janice! Joseph is new to the SCYL and we are so excited to see

him playing such an important role in the future of the League at such a young age. We look forward to his insight and energy.


Cody begins his fifth year of service to the SCYL returning as the West and Fundraising/Finance Officer. Rachel returns for her third year as East Coast and Public Relations Officer. Holly begins the challenging job as CBS editor for a second year. She did an amazing job putting out three great issues in 2009 and we are excited and blessed to have her continuing on. Please help her out by sending her stories, poems, pictures, articles, drawings, whatever you want to share with the other teens.


Rev. Dr. David Fekete was re-elected to his

third year as the League Chaplain. Dr. Dave as he is commonly known, spends a lot time traveling to retreats and camps to help make them great. He writes monthly chaplain posts that you can read here. Best of all, he writes some hilarious Mad Libs that are highly entertaining!


Please join me in congratulating all of our 2010 SCYL Officers and our League Chaplain. This marks another year where we are thrilled to have a great mix of teens leading the League. I’m elated to be working with this group and I hope that you get a chance to meet them if you haven't already.
