Janusz Attended the SENY Assembly.
There was much talk about young people's matters and we heard a report from the General Service Conference.
Many people talked positively about having young people involved in the making of yp videos and pamphlets.

Darren asked if NYCYPAA as a committee would be interested to participate in writing letters concerning young people's literature, videos, and/or local area service structures.
General Sense of the Meeting: substantial unanimity.
SENY Rep should be directly involved.

Daniel brought up the following issues:
Who do we serve?
Who do we represent?
Motion: Table this discussion until next time.
What are we here for? What is our mandate?
