A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Hi CYMKivtsi!
I hope you are all doing well!
I have seen so many photos from the 2017 CYMK Convention and there are so many new faces for me. For those of you who do not know me, my name is Tanya Buciora and I was elected as your new National CYMK President for the terms of 2017-2019. This was not a position I was forced to take, this was not a position I was asked to take, this was a position I wanted to take because I love the Ukrainian youth family that we have become. I am so excited to work with you all in the next two years, visiting you, organizing events, and planning more conventions, such as the Saskatoon coming up next year and in the East in two years.
As an executive, our goal is to keep CYMK growing, we learn new things as CYMKivtsi every year and I hope we will all become closer, continue the successes we all carry, and share and have fun while we are at it!
Remember I appreciate, remember, and love each and every one of you so much and everyone one of you is so important to this youth family.
I hope you all carry on the success you have in your locals and I will keep in touch.
National CYMK President,
Make sure to check out the photos, take-home TIPS below from our sessions, and the reporting template we made up for you!

This is a template to guide you in producing a report that effectively summarises the event to the individuals, or organizations, who funded your attendance at the event.
This is a very useful skill to develop, because once working, you may be sponsored to attend events on behalf of your team or company, and need to give a useful report back to the company.
