For the better readying our selves for the worst, TYR has gone into complete reconstruction to perfect all aspects of its existence. 4ReAl, President of TYR, and IQ, Vice-President of TYR, are cracking down on all possible cracks, gaps, and cons of its structure. The two members of TYR are determined to make TYR the biggest success of its time.

A Recap of Sucess

2009-05-02T08:26:00.000-07:00

We haven't posted since March, but that is only because we have good reason; we have been busy. So I'll try to get things back up to par, first, let’s sum of our two monthly meeting that we have had in the last two months. In the last meeting we have discussed some of the most pressing topics, TYR in the time to come. We are already planning to have TYR as an after-school program at AAECHS again this coming school year, so upcoming freshmen, you need to be ready. Also there are a few TYR performances approaching that I think you all should be notified about: “The Arts & Ideas Festival,” which is June 20th, 2009, and “The Fatherhood Weekend,” June 22nd, 2009. Both will be some of TYR’s most open performances ever but we’ll save the rest for another time. But enjoy what is to come, believe me, you will be surprised.

An Extended Outline

2009-03-13T17:37:00.000-07:00

It is March and TYR’s to-do list has suddenly become longer. We stepped out of our annual board meeting this past Wednesday with much on our minds. The meeting began with evaluations of Amistad City, TYR’s high school program, and as usual, the program was running fine with our combination of Yale interns and TYR members. Then down to the more challinging stuff.
In discussing concerns of TYR not addressing some of the major issues and problems in the community such as the previous killing of a 17-year-old New Haven youth named Maurice Nicholson. This was very high concern by TYR board members and they pressed the preposal of the organization taking action. For a few moments we were on this topic and how came to the conclusion that the voice of TYR is to be heard in the community now more then later because of the seriousness of the issues that have occered in the neighborhood this early in 2009. ATTENTION NEW HAVEN: Do not be afraid of all youth that mobolize, we have mobalized for the greater good and wish to act against the crime of our city.
Finally ending our meeting, we discussed our future events. The only confirmed event to our meeting’s agenda was the Create-A-Comic Tournament that was going to take place at the library on March 14, 2009 at the main New Haven Free Public Library in downtown New Haven from 11AM to 5PM. It is a free program for grades 2 and up.
We predict a rough year for youth and the city in general. The econemy is falling, but TYR is standing. Not asking, but demanding, that we stand together as one not many. Evil, TYR won’t stand for any. And we will always stand for the right, Violence is not the answer but we will fight.

Time for 09

2009-02-20T14:01:00.001-08:00

Sorry for the late greeting 2009, but just know we've been ready since 2008. The January and February of 2009 have been jam-packed with much fun for us TYR members. We have successfully started an after-school program at Amistad Academy Elm City High School (AAECHS) since late November of 2008 called Amistad City. In this program we've enrolled and have been training up to twenty members including veterans from Amistad Academy Middle School (AAMS). Operating an hour and a half after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, have fun enhancing their talents in the Arts, specifically: Poetry, Spoken Word, Music Performance (R&B, Rap, Pop, Hip-Hop, Rock, etc...) and much more. With help from AAECHS, Yale Student Raphael Magarik, and WORD, members love coming staying after school for the Amistad City program.

On a more serious note, we have a solid selection of member who have teamed up to make TYR the best it can possibly be. In February of 2009 at TYR's Annual Monthly Breakdown Meeting, (Mariah Ortiz), (Ibrahim AbdulQuaiyy), and 4ReAl met overlooking the past, present, and future of TYR. As young members of a youth organization, being only high school students, and living in a world changing due to a falling economy, these three could not just look at the world from a child's eyes, but through the pupils of educated professional's.

"They're taking money out of the youth, yet attempt plan for the future." 4ReAl states, "We need to anticipate a rough year." Arguments and statements went back and forth throughout the meeting about the job the city is doing to "improve" New Haven.

"We have reached a point in time where the only thing that could save us is ourselves. You call it human evolution, I say the youth revolution." (IBRAHIM)

"The city is just adding more problems for youth to deal with." (MARIAH)

We'll keep you posted on what is to come in our solution to this problem, but here is a question for you. Do you think that the government is doing a good job in taking care if New Haven.

Dreams becoming goals, Goals becoming achieved

2008-09-29T13:28:00.000-07:00

In Janurary of 2008, in the middle of his 8th grade

year, young rapper and song writer 4Real begins on a journey to the path of addapting to a new

skill and talent, novelism. Why he chooses this path is unexplainable due to the fact that he

started so young. However, this is what he had to say about the reasoning of his extrodenry goal,
"This novel was written to help inspire nations to turning a new corner and get beak on the road

we were once on, the road that we need to follow."

Now as we know TYR is against most modern big-time rappers due to there choice of lyrics so

we have worked around that obstcale. In the trailer above contains the music of TYR reconized

rap group called Liberation. And as far as images go, all all you see in the preview above

has been created and enhanced by 4Real himself.

Networking With Every Corner

2008-04-25T06:37:00.000-07:00

Six A.M. in the morning of March, 28, 2008 TYR Board Member 4ReAl goes to Camp Finch, a camp site in south west Pennsylvania to attend The First Annual MANA Youth Retreat. When we asked 4ReAl how he felt about traveling eight hours from home representing TYR he said, “Staying in a cabin high up in the hill by Lake Erie was an experience of a lifetime,”
The retreat was conducted and lead very well by many Muslim youth from many parts of the country such as Kalamazoo, Boston, New Haven, Oakland, Atlanta, Harlem, and many more. The Youth of MANA and the other fifty attending met most of the weekend of the retreat discussing common issues and networking with each other in the process. However, the retreat was not all meetings and workshops; it also contained some camp activities such as horseback riding, BB-gun target practice, rock-climbing, and Archery. “In the end when it was time to come back home, I felt more unified with the Muslim youth of the world then I ever have in my life.”

Project Legacy

2008-03-04T09:30:00.000-08:00

Project Legacy is a program that is designed to mentor youth between the 5th and 6th grade to become "elite" TYR members of the next generation. All the original TYR Snoopy, Dora Gurl Tell'em, Ish, Lil Willie, and 4ReAL will give one-on-one mentoring lesson to a 5th or 6th grade student.

Not The Best

2008-02-20T15:11:00.000-08:00

On Feburary 15th, TYR members Dora Girl Tellem, Ish, Snoopy, and 4ReAl preformed a half time show in the Amistad Academy Middle School gym premering the new TYR original Change. The Proformance was not the best we ever had acording to unanimous vote of TYR members but we are planning to improve for the better of the group and the world.
