We discussed new recruits for the 2020-2021 school year. We will only be accepting freshmen
and sophomores in order to avoid having everybody graduate at the same time. Attached is the
application for you to forward to new interested recruits.. The completed application is due to
Deb no later than May 25, 2020.
We spoke about community service opportunities that can be done from home. Some options
include "Bee a Blessing" Card Drive and "Letters to Elders." An idea was also brought up about
doing neighborhood can/ clothing drives. Members decided to do the clothing drive now, Deb
and Shannon will work on the logistics of droping off your donations. Members decided to have
the can drive in the Fall for the food pantry. Elena Sabin is helping her Dad in Waltham with
groceries for families in need at his middle school. If you are interested in shopping for a family,
or you know someone who would like to donate to the cause, please reach out to her.
Tom Romano discussed a community service opportunity of helping to teach community
members how to use Zoom. The following said they were interested in helping create an
instructional video/teach a class: Maddie, Regina, Mehr, Isabella and Andrew. Anybody else
who may be interested should email Tom at trounano��lexintomna.gov
We brainstormed ideas on how to celebrate our seniors. Shannon shared her idea, along with
other members sharing current ongoing projects, including sponsoring a Lexington Senior.
Shannon will update us as more information becomes available.
We discussed ways of fiend raising for the food pantry in the fall while implementing social
distancing; these fundraisers would be done if the car wash cannot happen in September. We
spoke about the possibility of doing food drives, specifically neighbor can drives.
We discussed the fiiture of LYC and how to stay connected during quarantine. Our next Zoom
meeting will be on Thursday, June 11th at 7:00pm.
