We begin by debriefing the Thanksgiving Dinners Deliveries
- we delivered 30 full turkey dinners working with the Rotary Club
- we had problems at Avalon deliveries with door answering. Next year we will
call ahead to make sure someone is there to receive it
Next up we debriefed the food pantry drive
- went very well.Not as much food was donated but it was much quicker and
better
- Something we can do better is remake the flyer so that people know what foods
they can put in.
- goods the food pantry needs more of should be actively put on the pantry(ask the
pantry the month of for it)
- Do they take toiletries?
- EVERY MEMBER OF LYC needs to participate
Santa and Depot Square debrief
- Everyone loved dressing up in holiday costumes, and we need to do it again. It
was received well by residents. We got lots of compliments,request for picture
taking, and made social media.
- The bells were a big hit,we had 300 bells for kids,we had to turn away adults.
- Maddie Lucente put everyone in the mood, and invited LYC up to sing and
dance.

The Youth Advisory Board that I have been meeting with is looking to have a
mural contest here at the Community Center and I was wondering if you all
would help spread the word?The contest is still in the works but the basis
would be capturing the Community Spirit of Lexington.
I wanted to mention that this group wants to try and run a drive in movie night
and we would love to combine efforts as it was something that you all wanted
to do."
