Also mentioned issues getting into Diamond School though had the opportunity <br />to meet two guidance counselors at a K -8 meeting. Arny addressed the issue of <br />needing to include the kids, it not being a good idea to start out exclusive. Elaine <br />mentioned putting programming in school newsletter, possibly fliers, and <br />postcards to families. Helen C. said she would attempt to call the principal <br />informing her of programming initiatives. Julia said a good way to reach the kids <br />is through their parents because they would not want their kids to be left out. <br />Arny asked if this initiative was being looked at as one single activity or multiple <br />selections for youth. I said I was really hoping to start with one single activity, <br />starting smaller in the hopes of expanding. But Arny and Helen thought that <br />multiple activities would draw more kids, and might be a better way to start. <br />I will get the middle school students to put a name to the half -day programming. <br />Bill talk with Dick Michelson, head of Lexington retailers for donations. <br />Bill K. asked what the vision was with this initiative and I said I see it setting the <br />stage for information about youth needs, especially during after - school hours, <br />attendance of kids looking, needing something constructive to do and it moving <br />into the area of allowing us to advocate for a youth, community center. Also this <br />initiative could spark a mentoring program from middle school to elementary <br />aged students, especially those 5 t " graders making the transition to middle <br />school. <br />We also really briefly touched upon the Council's role in relation to my position <br />especially in situations when there are, may be difficulties navigating issues <br />around things like space, getting into Diamond. We will revisit for next month. <br />Karen and Arny I will try to remember the recipe for next month's meeting on <br />January 11, 2005. We will plan to meet on the second Tuesday of each month <br />following unless anyone has a consistent conflict. <br />Happy Holidays and Happy New Year - - -- <br />Becky <br />
