Computer and board games were consolidated into a single section called <br />"games." The remaining categories, which will be analyzed at our June 23 meeting, are: <br />music/theater, services, socialization, and specialized. <br /> <br />Each entry was marked as one or more of: <br /> <br /> <br />D duplicate of item already on the list <br /> <br /> <br />K keep (things doing now and in budget) <br /> <br /> <br />N new (planned but not yet budgeted) <br /> <br /> <br />F future (something we hope to do at some point) <br /> <br /> <br />C something that will be 'citizen-run' (therefore not in budget of Rec or Hsvcs) <br /> <br /> <br />E expansion of a current offering (keyed as KE keep and expand) <br /> <br /> <br />S someplace else (will be offered at a non-community center location) <br /> <br /> <br />G general type activity <br /> <br />Issues brought up during the meeting: <br /> <br /> <br />LPS started providing bus service to after-school activities. We need to be involved in these <br />discussions so that Lexington Community Center (LCC) is included. We recognize <br />transportation will be a critical component of creating successful programs; Human Services <br />will continue to work with the Transportation Advisory Committee and other Town entities to <br />examine the broader issue of transportation, which is a Board of Selectmen goal. <br /> <br /> <br />Recreation will continue and expand (as space and resources permit) its current after-school <br />classes and activities <br /> <br /> <br />
