March 15, 2011 <br />In attendance: Lea Elkin, Emily Lavine, Charlotte Rodgers, Herb Wasserman, Norm <br />Cohen, Stephanie Lawrence, Barbara Ciampa, Mimi Ballard, Betty Borghesani <br />The committee accepted the February meeting minutes. <br />Lea will investigate if next month's meeting can be moved to the 4th week of April <br />(4/26), due to Passover and school vacation. <br />April minutes will be taken by Gail (Lea will ask her). Barbara will be responsible for <br />May minutes. <br />New membership: <br />Lea has not heard back from the individual who was approached about joining the <br />committee. Lea will contact the selectmen's office to see if any resumes and letters <br />of interest have been sent submitted. Betty Borghesani has begun to attend <br />meetings regularly, representing the COA. She is a liaison, not an official member. <br />Betty's attendance is part of an initiative to enhance communication between town <br />committees. <br />Herb announced that he will be moving to Lincoln in a couple of months. Therefore <br />as of June, this committee may have two open positions. <br />Help for Chair: <br />�s <br />Lea accepted a co -chair position, but the intended co -chair hasn't been able to <br />remain on the committee. Lea would find it helpful if the meeting's minute -taker can <br />email AND bring in hard copies. Emily pointed out that minute taker is also <br />supposed to keep his /her rough draft. Technically, the final copy should be attached <br />to the agenda and the public meeting posting (explained by Charlotte). <br />Lea will continue to send agendas to the Town Cleric's office. <br />Presentation by Bill Blout regarding Lex. Youth & Family Services: <br />Bill has been working with a group of people in town to focus on youth at risk and <br />emergency care for teens after work hours. <br />Bill explained that the program will first open on the coming Friday, and then will be <br />open every Friday from 3:00 -6:00. The organization is led by a community board of <br />6 adults and 3 youth members. They are always looking for more board members. <br />LYFS has been designed as a place to go, no strings attached, no obstacles, no <br />parental involvement needed, for youth who need help. It will operate after school, <br />adjunct to school services. Walk -in counseling and immediate /emergency services <br />will be offered. There will be two counselors on site at all times, so that staff is <br />3-, <br />rn <br />
