Your Company Name - May 9,2012 Youth Focus

Brent recapped the events of youth week, from the seniors pancake breakfast, community day, REACH awards, casino night with council and amazing race. It was the most successful youth week to date with incredible dedication from the committee in both volunteering and participating in all events. The YFC was awarded a REACH award this year, as well as Devon Koerber. It was discussed to put a display case at Westhill for trophies and service awards.

Brent touched on some of the volunteers who did not show after committing to events. In the future volunteers should email, text or phone if they are unable to make it to an event they have made a commitment to attend.

Brent handed out the remaining volunteer t-shirts to the YFC member who did not pick theirs up over youth week.

Brent reminded the YFC that indicated in their workplan is the purchasing of member hoodies, but reminded them it was their responsibility to work with Brent and Corina and Rebecca to price and research the purchase. The committee agreed to do the research by next week and voted in favor of purple hoodies with “YFC” on the back and city logo on the front.

Brent discussed the interest by more youth to join the YFC, but the committee membership is supposed to be maximum 15 members. As of today we are over that. The YFC voted that interested members could attend meetings as guests until the new school year when some members will be too old and spots will open up.

Brent congratulated both the YFC and Devon Koerber on the REACH awards. There is a great sense of pride and passion with this group that is going to do great things within our community. ill to discuss the action items and prioritize the list.

Brent informed the YFC that Corina and himself would like to put on a bowling party to thank the YFC for their incredible service. They voted and decided that Mondays would be the best time for them to all attend a bowling party in early June.

Natalie Forster spoke on behalf of her membership with the bi-centennial committee. She asked the YFC for their interest in committing to helping with the bicentennial festivities. They unanimously voted to assist and they brainstormed ideas and showed support for Natalie’s ideas she already has in progress with the committee. Shane asked her to come back with more specific information as the dates get closer or as their involvement is needed.

Brent spoke on behalf of the youth festival organizers who contacted him looking for volunteers to assist with various aspects of the festival. Brent replied and is awaiting for more specific information so this item has been discussed but without solid dates, times and volunteer information it is very difficult to assist.
