Well, I will explain.. Once upon a time there was a handsome, young, superhero/host at Youth Tech. One day, while online, doing hosting kinds of things he all of a sudden, out of nowhere even, recieved an INSTANT MESSAGE! This suprised him somewhat, but this Hero was even more suprised by the fact that the IM was asking him if he would care for the job of Editor of the YT Newsletter. Yes, this was exciting, and our incredibly cool YTCC Hero accepted the job and is now up to his elbows in writing projects and things. ============================= ~~> Join The YT Committee! ============================= Over the last few months, Youth Tech has grown at large scales. During this time, we have added new features and content, that we *hope* you like and use. But how can we be sure? How do we know for sure that this is what you really want? Introducing the Youth Tech Development Committee - something YOU can be part of. This committee will consist of Youth Tech members who want to speak out, and tell us what they want, and how they want it. This committee is probably for you if: * You want to see general change in Youth Tech * You want to see our content presented in a different way * You want to see new content, and have ideas of what exactly it is you want to see. * You want to make a difference in Youth Tech, and make it a better and more enjoyable place for everyone. This committee will consist of 10-15 people, so space is limited! We will meet twice a month (on AOL). There are no specific qualifications. You will be required to show up and participate in all committee meetings, unless you notify us ahead of time with a reason why you cannot attend. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you are interested, please do the following: Send email to screenname JeremyYT with the following: Your First Name: Your Age: Essay of 200 words or less, stating why you'd be a good candidate for the committee. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks, and good luck! ============================= ~~> Feature: F U N @ Y T ============================= This Featured Area should lead ya to any number of cool and entertaining things to do through YT!
