1. The November minutes were read and approved.
2. We recapped the Thanksgiving turkey drive. It went fairly well and the only problems
were brought up and the rotary club has been informed so they can be avoided in the
future.
3. We have just finished our holiday fundraising season and we have raised $2024 for
Lexington families! The Toys R Us gift cards have been purchased and delivered to
Family Services at Town of Lexington.
4. We discussed a new January event; we had planned Cradles to Crayons visit for January
21st at 12:OOpm. Those who've said they can attend are Emma, Hadar, Katherine, Avery,
Ganga, Venuri, Annie, Meghan, Courtney, Lucas, Ishaan, Will, Jack, Deb, Shannon,
Karen, and maybe Peter. We will discuss this event further at the January meeting but if
you know you can or cannot go, please let Will or Jack know. THIS EVENT WILL NOT
HAPPEN ON January 21st due to scheduling issues at Cradles to Crayons. We will
discuss at January meeting.
5. We started brainstorming ideas for our Patriots day parade float. So far we have come up
with themes of space, race cars, and under the sea. We would like all members do bring
ideas to the next meeting along with a catchphrase and sketch of what the float might
look like.
6. Finally, we have started to hand out Tee shirts; Debbie still has a lot of them. All tee
shirts will be handed out by January 12th; you will need to wear tee shits and sweatshirts
to February, March and April events. If you will not be at meeting you need to pickup
your tee shirt by then. Also we have collected all Food Pantry Candy money, but we still
have outstanding sweatshirt money then needs to be paid ASAP, Tommy Barry and Alia
please see Will or Jack so we can close this account. If you have not paid for your tee
shirt please bring $17.00 to the next meeting on January 12th
See you at our next meeting, Thursday, January 12th at the Community Center 7:00 pm.
Respectfully Submitted, Jack Mitchell - Lexington Youth Commission Secretary
