VSACCA Website - New look
Along with our new name, there is a new look to the website, www.vsacca.org. See what's new and send along your comments, information to include, ideas, or corrections.

Membership
VSACCA is now a no-dues organization to ensure that the entire afterschool community in Virginia can be kept up to date and everyone can benefit from the shared information. Communication is via email and each address can be associated with a single name. For sites where an email address is shared, the staff is invited to sign up individually with their home (or other) email or other alternate email.

Conference News
Workshops The full schedule of the workshops will be announced in September. Here is a sampling of recently confirmed speakers -

• Roberta Newman, Newroads Consulting, "Linking Theme-Based Activities to Youth Development"
• Chad Triolet, Deep Creek Elementary School, "Noodle Mania - Promoting Active After-School Programs"
• Wayne Olson, The Trust Company of Virginia, "To Get More Gifts, Think Like a Donor"
• Robert Newberry, ReBrilliance, "Goal Setting Done Right: A Powerful Strategy to Help Children Reframe Adversity and Achieve More"
• Janet Smith, St. John's Lutheran Early Childhood Education Center, "After School in a Small Setting"

More good things. All attendees will receive the educational workbook from the Norfolk Tides - your youth can have fun combining art and literacy using baseball as the focus.
