So a bunch of us just headed down to Columbus this past weekend and attended OYPAA 2009. Those Columbus YPs know how to put on a party. We all had a blast. All three main speakers were phenomenal and the panels were equally outstanding.

The best part? (Wait for it)…

WE’RE HOSTING OYPAA 2010!!!!!

That’s right. The NOYPAA / OYPAA bid committee was awarded the privilege of hosting OYPAA 2010 in the Akron area next year.

So, what’s next? We’re having our normal meeting in two weeks on April 26 at Chipotle’s in Garfield Heights and we’re having elections for host committee positions on Sunday, May 3 at the Twelve Step Club in Brunswick (on Rt. 42 just south of 303 behind the bowling alley). The elections will begin at 2 pm. Absolutely anyone can come and run for a position. And believe me, we’ll need the help. Even if you don’t want to head up a committee, come on out and we’ll put you to work.

Thanks to everyone for all the support you’ve given us so far. If you don’t live in the area or if you can’t make our regular meetings and you still want to help by spreading the word to your home group, email outreach@noypaa.org and let Mike know. He’ll hook you up.
