Teen Participation: Tim Dugan has contacted Laura Lasa (associate principal of LHS) about getting a liaison to our committee from LHS. LWV Community Conversation at St. Brigid Parish was on September 27, 2011. What themes came out of the tables there and what do we think? • Building community • Contact /relationships • Intergenerational activities: Older generation would like interaction with younger groups, but teens are more interested in specific projects such as tutoring, job shadowing, role modeling. • Less structured contacts such as block parties, coffees, drop -in opportunities for adults and youth. • How to feel invited to participate? Sophia H. has taken it upon herself to increase participation in community activities among her sphere of influence, and has already met with success. • Teens and seniors need space, including private meeting rooms • Transportation needs were often mentioned • Utilizing town center businesses to keep a vibrant center. Tasks for CCTF • Work with volunteer professional to plan focus groups • Summarize the data collected so far The meeting adjourned at 9:10 PM. The next meeting of the CCTF is scheduled for October 17 at 7:30 pm, in the Ellen Stone Room of Cary Hall.
